A Reflection on My Reading Habits

I realized last night as I was reading a bit of Brave New World, that my reading habit or style is starting to annoy me. I now realize that I'll jump right in and knock out the first 60 to 100 pages of a book really quickly. And then I'll drop down to do like 15 pages or so at a sitting for a while until I'm done.

I don't think it's a symptom of a short attention span, but I think I get into a book and get a feel for the atmosphere, the characters, and the writing and then I get bored with it on an unconscious level.

Ah, who knows? I annoy myself on so many levels that this is really something minor. But it's related to the "Errand," so I figured I'd post this confession here.
