How fast do you read your SW books?

JohnTaylor · Post by **JohnTaylor** » Fri Sep 08, 2006 12:38 pm

Hi all,

I find that SG doesnt usually get the books until 1 to 2 months (often longer) after it is released in the US.

From time to time, if there are a whole bunch of books (inc SW and others) I want to read but not in SG, I order via amazon.

I was wondering how soon you grab your copy of the latest Star Wars novels in SG.

For those of you who keep an eye onthis forum, you will realise I have advertised books which are the very latest, yet no one has said anything.

Is everyone so quick off the mark that they have already read them???

May the Force be with you, always.

JT

I buy only what is available in S'pore bookshops. usually I take my time, as these novels will not run out as fast as collectibles. Sometimes if lucky have coupons or entire store 20-30% off then grab some.

To be frank, I bought about 4-5 novels, have yet to finish them. I have no free time currently...

I try to get em as fast as possible myself. But I'm still only an NSF so some months are very dry, 'specially since I just went for the Maxonline 360 offer.

If I'm not wrong, I've got most, if not all NJO books, majority of original series.

Right now what I really wanna get are Outbound and The Legacy Series.

But thats gonna have to wait a biiit longer

the fastest way to read is to buy the comics and read it ...at least from my perception...

Usually read my novels in a few days. Was actually waiting for the legacy novels but unfortunately they took so long to come. If i'm not wrong, betrayal & bloodlines both just arrived. Am currently too busy to embark on any reading though

I would read the Books when I get them cause I usually have read most of the Spoilers at Other Forums so I tend to take my time to buy and read them, would usually finish a Book in 3-4 days if no interruptions. The Books usually comes about 2-3 weeks after the US release here in SG.

I sometimes find books to be a chore to read as I like my stuff in a short and succient manner. I tend not to have a lot of time to read, which is not good. Reading is good, don't get me wrong. Plus, I like picture so comics work for me too.

It sure is a chore but once u get started u just dont want to stop unless like I said Interruptionsssss always happenssss. I find Comics easier to read, understand and ends Fast unlike books.

I'm also an elchaep-o so I buy my novels used from the marketplace at amazon.

I started out with clone wars novels, then go farther back. I usually get them from borders, kino or MPH. But most of them came from ProSaint Bookstore at Bras Brasah Complex. I just finished the NJO, so you can say i buy novels at my reading pace. =P

I wish they will turn all those EU novels into graphic novels.

Haha i'm glad I have a reading speed of above lightspeed in my opinion. I've got all the prequel novels except for the latest ones and 10 JA books. Can finish a JA book in 5 mins.

Speeed Reeeeading is Cool but for me I would prefer the Slooooow Reeeead cause it builds up the excitement as you read and learn patience unlike the Speed ones which gave a sense of I m Done Already then u look for something else to read quickly, only good for studying and exams period but I only used it to read magazines fast nowadays.hehehehe

no means you can read more times. I read all the books i buy at least more than 5 times. And speed reading was only utilised on Outbound flight where i finished it in 15 mins cos I ahd to go somewhere after the lib and had a full borrowing capacity.
