Janette,
Thanks for the analysis. I read somewhere that JFK could read several newspapers very quickly each morning. I imagine he did the same F style with newspapers that many do on line. Right? Come to think of it, I probably read newspapers much faster than I do books. Hmmmm. This is interesting. Thanks again for the explanation.

Slow reader off line?
The teacher hat comes out:>)
When on line you read in a F – top, side, middle- quick skim for important information.
IRL we read straight down the middle- a slower process because we tend to read every word instead of “jist” reading :>)
The younger generation CAN read- they just read differently.

Forest,
OK. That makes more sense. By the way, Total Money Makeover and No More Mondays are both great books…both are in my personal library.

Hey Joe, it’s not that I actually read the pages slowly, it’s just that I don’t pick the books up enough…. Weirdly I love it when I do read so I am not sure why I always forget to do it!!

Forest,
Interesting that you read slowly off line. I have always been a slow reader, but it never occurred to me that one might read slower or faster off line. I am still old fashioned enough that I like to hold a book in my hand (as opposed to an ebook).

About linking to Jesse’s guest post on your blog. No problem. He did a great job!

I read a lot of blogs mostly but also have a few books on the go. Some are books I need to review (Dave Ramsey’s Total Money Makeover, No More Dreaded Mondays) and I just finished The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Problem is I read very slow offline (read tons of posts online every day).

Thanks for linking Jesse’s great guest post on my blog .

@Carol,
So reading Trump has given you a, shall I say, kick in the hindside. I admit that I haven’t read Trump for the same reason you had resisted. Maybe I need to open my mind a bit more.

@Darren,
OK. Thou Shall Prosper is sitting on my bookshelf about two feet away from me, saying, “Joe…you have to read me!” I promise, Darren, it will be next. And I will surely find some good post ideas in the book. Thanks for the prompt!

I haven’t read it, but I heard some good things about Thou Shall Prosper as well. Perhaps you could share some insights here after you read it!

I do love to read, and just finished Everybody Communicates, Few Connect by John Maxwell. Pretty good read with action steps at the end of the chapters.

I am reading donald trump and bill zanker – think big and kick ass in business and life. I must confess that I would not have bought the book because I though that doanald was such a show off. Ah don’t judge! The book has given me a shive in the ass and some great ideas.
