Comments on: My Favorite Freebie – Public Libraries http://theweightofmoney.com/2007/07/my-favorite-freebie-public-libraries.html understanding the weight of money Mon, 25 Jan 2010 03:09:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Donna Jean http://theweightofmoney.com/2007/07/my-favorite-freebie-public-libraries.html/comment-page-1#comment-11064 Donna Jean Mon, 16 Jul 2007 14:28:54 +0000 http://theweightofmoney.com/2007/07/my-favorite-freebie-public-libraries.html#comment-11064 As I mentioned, I read nonfiction books primarily - this means reading for information more than enjoyment (though I do enjoy it). How it works out is that I don't need to read every single word or section, I usually at least skim everything, to get the information I need. Also, after so many years of reading and doing stuff, most things are just a lot of repetitive concepts and easier to get through. I have book everywhere around the house: kitchen, dining room, bathroom, bedroom, and in the car. Anytime I sit for a moment, whether to eat or take a break, I pick up a book. Before bed, I read for at least an hour if not more. For fiction books, I can only do about 3-5 books a week but I avoid those because it is too tempting to become engrossed in them and let other tasks slip by.
