I've decided to do the little impossible of the little impossible thing I'm thinking about right now, tho' I do know some do it, are doing it and have done it. { a queer joke }
One who did it I know for sure is Federick Forsythe. In simplicity, this man reads, I read somewhere, 15 - 18 books a day. That's like me a life span reading for 2 years. Howlah!...one book also get migraine. This fellow 18 books aagh...in one day! I had a faint believe in that this man was only joking.
When I first heard about it, I had no idea if the writer himself was fibbing or making a ghast impression of Federick. I kept wondering, how in the world can one read that many books all in one day. I betcha you're still wondering what I'M writing or talking about.
Jokes aside mates...
I've decided to read three books all the same time. I've done with two, tho' it took me longer than I expected to finish both the books and fathom all that I've read. How you would go wondering in the lost world can one do that, 15 or so books? Forsythe does or did 15 - 18 books a day. When I first got to know this little 'myth', the reading and all, and also his voracious reading habit, I kept asking...sure or not.
How to readlah 15 books in a day unless if each book consists of only 2 or 3 pages.
Then again, if at all 15 or so books, how does one keep track of what you read? Reading one book alone is good enough to migraine you, but three books, 4 books 10 ...15! Hmmmmmmm!
I've decided to subject myself to this little test. I wanna see how far it goes or how far away from the floor I drop or go bonkers. If you're still wondering as to how this could be done, simple, just follow how Forsythe does. I actually bumped into a certain article on Federick Forsythe and learned of his ferocious / veracious reading habits.
Frederick Forsythe leaves books stewn and marked all over his house including in his garden, I was told. At any time of the day, where ever he goes, sits, eats, drinks or I suppose even to the WC, there'll be books to read. So, that is how our all famous late author who penned books like The Avenger, The Day of the Jackal goes about reading 15 -18 books a day. Everyday THIS MAN reads a page or two figuritevely from every and any book in his house / or was it cottage.
Wana try?
