Too much reading for one week
Well, I did not think that it would happen, but I have hit my limit for books in the past week. Early in the week, I was working my way through two books for work. I read the majority of VHDL : Programming By Example and managed to make it half way through Rapid Development. I read the VHDL book as a refresher for the project I am currently involved with at work. I am reading the book on Rapid Development to gain insight on software project management and to work towards my long-term career goals.
Amazingly, I also managed to finish two fiction books this week. During the first part of the week, I read The Soulforge (Dragonlance: The Raistlin Chronicles, Book 1), which was a paperback I picked up at a used bookstore several months ago. It was so entertaining that I read it through at a break-neck pace just so that I could find out what would happen next to Raistlin. During the latter half of the week, I read Phantom: Chainfire Trilogy, Part 2 (Sword of Truth, Book 10). I have been waiting on this book to come out for the last year and a half, so I am sad that I finished it in two days. Now, there is only one book left in the series and it is probably another year or two away.
Given the size of the books, I estimated that I read somewhere around 1500 pages this week, give or take a few hundred. Now, I am trying to rest for the remainder of the weekend before I try to finish Rapid Development during the next week.

I can’t pull that off anymore because that requires reading a book, which is harder for me now that my NADD is more well-developed. :sigh:
