Excellent thoughts wrryntx! As the time grows short, I've got a good idea of what I'm going to spend the last of my credits on and likely some actual money on. I'm still only halfway through the current series I'm reading (started in paper), and with time playing tricks on me, I feel as if I'm not reading nearly as much as I think I should; although I'm about on target for average reading prior to going strictly ebook (nearly 2/3rd of ~800 paper page fantasy novel = 600 pages out of 1000 epages).
Hrm, lack of sleep tangents suck, hang on while I find the point again...
Oh yeah, I think your quick take on Reading Like a Writer puts it on the list. I know I'm far from a speedy reader, primarily because I like to think on what I'm reading already--yeah I know, fantasy isn't really the place to do any deep thinking while reading (ROFL). Honestly, most authors in the genre don't cut it for anything longer than a trilogy for me.
Damn point, where'd it go again... Oh there it is...
With so many of the classics readily available, I plan on rereading the books I already know, and delving into the others I never got around to. <and now...the point> <thank you for your patience> <refreshments will be served immediately after in the lobby> Reading Like a Writer may prove useful in enjoying some of these classics I'm not committed to reading. <please tip your wait-staff and drive carefully>
