This weeks musing ... Do you set goals for yourself, while reading? For example, “I want to get this book finished this weekend“, or “I will read __ pages today“, etc. Why, or why not?

My answer : 

Sometimes i set mini goals ,if I'm reading a long book I'll read for say an hour.

Or to the end of the page I'm on . Which ever comes first ! 

With some of my recent reads my goal was "slow down reading!" lol 

I have a tendency to race to the end ,finishing a new 500pg plus book in 1 day.

What is the longest book you have ever read? How long did it take you to read it?

I've read a few really long books. Generally how long it takes depends on how good the story is!

Here's a few of the contenders for longest book read .

Darkman's by Nicola Barker 848pg,  Pillars Of The Earth by Ken Follet 1100 pages!

This weeks musing ........

"Do you tend to read to the end of a chapter or can you stop anywhere?"

Usualy i read to the end of a chapter, if the chaper is very long i'll read to a page break.
I also use bookmarks to hold the pages and sometime use post it notes also. 
 It depends on the book. lol
