My company purchased a Kindle
that I might use it to keep blueprints etc. on a small portable device that didn’t take 12 minutes to turn on everytime I use it. I’m still working on making that work.
In the meantime I’m reading at a breakneck pace. Years ago, I took a Developmental Reading course, which lasted ten days. Humans can acquire information much faster than the pace at which they read, and most humans read at about a spoken pace. You can easily train yourself to read very quickly- at one time, I read comfortably a couple thousand words a minute. I still read very quickly, and the Kindle is the first device that I have played with that didn’t take too long to change pages, it switches with only the minutest of delays.
I used to read about a novel length book in a day. That was in addition to everything else. Time and convenience have messed with that some, but the Kindle is bringing my reading speed back a great deal. I finished Monte Cristo in two and days and change, mostly reading in bed before and after work. Of course, it helps that it’s something I want to read; I still cannot read a whole Fanuc manual, or anything by CS Lewis. In fact, I’m a little afraid of even having a Lewis or Rand novel on the kindle, for fear my instinct will take over, and ten words in, throw the Kindle against the wall.
I’m just curious. What is it about Lewis?
have you read that bullshit Narnia? He should have been bitchslapped to death for that. And those damnable Screwtape letters.
Many people who are already moral Christians read this and cheer, because it feeds their egoes. People who are not will never be phased by this sort of nonsense.
“Many people who are already moral Christians read this and cheer, because it feeds their egoes. People who are not will never be phased by this sort of nonsense.”
Non-Christian me praises Lewis highly. That three things today.
You may wake up from your delusion eventually.
Now I know.
