Indeed it is form of scanning and reading. Im glad i ran into the forum police here right away, instead of when i broke some real laws. Ill make sure to start explaining my every word as if you were a four year old. My apologies great forum warrior. Guess theres always one in every forum..... awesome. For the record the problem people have when scanning is tryign to retain everything. The trick of scanning is not prioritizing what to retain, but what to dismiss and pass over while identifying the relative information your looking for. Ive never been interested at how hard the wind was blowing in a scene or the color of sky. "brain fatigue" interesting term, never experienced it while reading, but i do sleep like the dead after a few hours of reading. And now since this post has nothing to do with anything else talked about, i guess i just killed this thread.

nope, heres an example of how fast i go through books, all 3 Hunger Games books 5.5 hours A gathering Storm 3 hours TwoK 2.5 hours Learned to speed read in grade 9 for studying purposes. Now its a curse. Bring on the 5000 page Books!!!!!!

Np i enjoy the carried on conversation dont care where it goes First season i loved and then every season afterwards less and less. I disagree 1000000000%. the longer the better imo. id like to see the next book be a whoppin 2000 pages hardcover.

+ 1 brother. im very against big time jumps in books i read. small ones are definately needed but a writer loses alot of my concentration reading them when they just gloss over what happens to the characters you enjoyed the most in their previous books. Bad Time jumps: Glen Cook, Black Company. David Farland, Runelords. Sara Douglass Axis>Wayfarer. (however i have many critiques on how she ended that series anyways i shouldnt even put her on the list how dissapointed i was with it.) Good Time Jumps: David Eddings, Balgarion>Mallorean. Robert Jordan book 1>2, 2>3. L.E. Modesitt, Jr. Recluce. (I love this saga and how they all tie in as a history of a world and stand alone stories at the same time.) kinda hijacking my own thread but anyone else have any examples they love or hate?

I agree 100%, this is the reason i stopped reeading Martin.

First, Hello all, My first post. Read WoK (Way of Kings)about a year ago, and have been looking forward to a few things ever since. 1. The face to face meeting of Kaladin and Amaram. (I'm holding out for something epic, much like the excitement in the scene of Kelsier vs. the Steel Inquisitor) < MistBorn for those who havent read it. This scene was what sold me on Brandon Sanderson after I had heard he was continuing WoT (Wheel of Time) after the passing of Robert Jordan. I highly recommend reading the first book of both these series. 2. The follow up on training for the former bridgemen now recruited into a spear company. 3. The possible emergence on more Honor spren after the Codes are forced upon the armies, and the chance of learning to use stormlight for others. 4. The assasination attempt on Dalinar. #1. is the most exciting possibility in my opinion. Comments thoughts?
