Did I mention that I won the "Reading Prize" in high school, awarded by the school librarians (I was a member of the Student Librarians who volunteered in the evenings) - the prize was a copy of "Miss Manners' Guide to Excrutiatingly Correct Behavior" selected just for me, naturally. :D
I can't do audiobooks - my mind wanders, I lose track. ;) Currently just finished "Great Expectations" didn't love it as much as "David Copperfield." :)
I'm not surprised to find that you're an award-winning reader :-) You're not alone about audiobooks. I have several friends who find that audiobooks, for them, involve too much rewinding to catch what they missed when something distracted them. Are you working your way through a particular list of classics or delving deeper into Dickens specifically?
I picked up a Dickens compendium that I'm working my way through after Jeffrey Streeter was talking about David Copperfield specifically. Read Tale of Two Cities in high school, and would like to read that again too.
“At the back of my journals, I keep a list of the books I’ve read during that journal’s time span.” I love this idea!
Amanda - I hope you give it a try! Do you journal regularly?
I do journal, yes--though unfortunately I can't say I'd use "regularly" to describe the frequency with which I journal. :)
