RE: Adventure Reading Contest (not rly...)
I think I might be a bit of both types sometimes. Mostly these days I think I fall under type 1 even though I don't have an art deco arm chair, although I do smoke a pipe, haha. But when I was younger I was more of a type 2 reader, I remember once over the course of a weekend I read two books with about 500-700 pages each, they were the last two books of a trilogy and I was just completely engrossed in the story, I couldn't put the books down.
That was before I had easy access to high speed internet though. Nowadays I find it hard to give my full attention to a book and usually only end up reading when I'm on a bus for an hour or two.
I'm pretty much type 2 all the time...except when I read work material....on that I take short breaks.
When I was a teen it was even worse...back then my criteria for a good book was very low lol...so I read pretty much everything I got my hands on....I lived in a village...there was no net....I got my computer later...so it was play outside or books. :)
You lived in a village? Lucky, haha, where I lived as a kid there were two other houses, and the people living there were all old with no kids, the nearest village was about a ten or twenty minute walk away. And, yeah, I was the same way when I was younger, I used to read anything as long as it had words on a page, haha.
