*blush* That allusion to reading a book a day... WoT was the exception, took me 13 days to get through those 12 books... but those are BIG, and if you've read them you understand just how... wordy RJ can be... once you get in the groove though it's a lot easier. Can't think of any other time where I couldn't read a book in a day... though I haven't tried War and Peace of any of those really intimidating ones... just talking 'popular' fiction.
I'm weird... I have a totally useless skill... I also have a knack for lyrics and melodies but I can't read music for squat and never could make my foot follow the metronome instead of the melody... nice, stories flow like movies... but not useful at all... least not now that I'm not in school.
