I noticed something lately and I’m wondering how true it is for others. I notice that I’ve gotten used to reading in small chunks. I read articles and blog posts and much less often longer pieces. i notice for me there is a distinct difference in the sustained reading. I tend to start off slow but once I get about seven or eight pages in my speed reading kicks in and I start to read very quickly.
Do you find you tend to read in smaller chunks than before?
How do you feel when you go back to reading a longer piece such as a novel?
Is this ‘burst’ reading a real change in the way people read in general or just something that has happened to me?

LOL! I was interacting in Google Wave not too long ago, and I found myself writing like I was in Twitter. I was laughing with the person I was interacting with about how quickly something becomes habit. For me, it was the writing thing, but I can see how it could just as easily be translated to how we read. I wonder how long it will be before we learn to teach in 140 characters or less!! LOL.
