    Is this a euphemism? Then yes, several books per week. Sometimes more than one in a day.

    Considering schools make you read books for their curriculum (even grade schools, middle schools, and high school) how could you not have read at least one book?

    I am an avid reader, I was one of the few people that enjoyed reading out loud in school... I still do, but recently my reading has shifted from Lisanne Norman, to Dr. Seuss ^_^


    Ummm... I teach 7th grade. You'd be surprised how well kids can fake it...

    You read your books out loud? Doesn't that bother the other patrons at the library?

    You have a hypothesis, not a theory. When you've done experiments and accurate observations which help you prove or disprove your hypothesis, and that hypothesis is accepted by admired scientists, then you'll have a theory. :smile: (I got that information from the 1 book I read in my whole life)

    Bwahahah... :laugh:

    I'm sorry...I read that and wasn't thinking "a couple of books."

    You said you stood on a couple once to watch tv over a fence, and I had this mental image of a guy standing on two people necking to see over the fence.

    Apparently I need a day or six off, LOL...
