• Describe one of your reading habits.
• Tell us what book(s) you recently bought for yourself or someone else, and why you chose that/those book(s).
• Tell us what you’re reading right now — what you think of it, so far; why you chose it; what you are (or, aren’t) enjoying it.
Reading habit...obsessing over page numbers
I don't know why but I really have a thing for checking page numbers. Before I start a book I head straight to the back to see how many pages there are and then at various intervals during my reading I will do the maths to work out whether I'm a quarter of the way/half way through. I am pretty anti-numbers because they make my head go all fuzzy and I feel really stupid so I really have no idea why I do this. Maybe it's a competitive thing, wanting to know how much I've read and how much I've got left. Like a 'HA, I'm half way through you, War and Peace, take that!' Not that I will probably EVER read War and Peace. Yeh, that's not happening.
So, bit of a random habit: constantly checking page numbers and working out my progress.
Anyone else do this? No? Just me? Ok, back to my corner I go.
