A co-worker chews through a book a day.

It takes me about 2 days on average, but that’s really good.

I have learned a LOT more from reading than I ever learned in school.

Drive a lot on business, and recently have started listening to CD books. Helps me stay awake and I probably get through one or two additional books a week that way.

Listening to a book is, oddly, quite a different experience from reading it. Even when I’ve read the same book before.

I notice and remember different things. Among other things, I find I notice the writer’s infelicities of style much more when listening.
