i've begun to read this book. it's a quick read, yet it's not. you know what i mean? i'm by nature a speed reader. i shared that fact with my home fellowship group about 2 weeks ago when we were talking about books in general. i think it has something to do with my musical training. because there are so many lines to read at once, you just have to grasp the (in this case, note) words right away. hence, the "speed" reader. yet i hardly really retain (unlike music reading) what the book's about afterwards. which is a bit frightening (because it's like eating empty calories). anyway, it's not a quick read, this one, but it's a quick in a sense that it's quite enjoyable, not at all laborious. i highly recommend it!!!!!!!!!!!!
