my ex-gf could read almost an entire book in one day, while it would take me weeks if not months to finish one. I am still reading Salaryman's wife - Sujata Massay (mystery novel), and it has been over a month, but i am one quarter finished so far.

I am also studying japanese grammar/workbook/kana characaters

I read either 3 or 4 Harry Potter books back to back after I finally saw The Prisoner of Azkaban on my last flight to Japan. To tell you the truth now when I see the films on TV I can't remember one book plot from the next. They were all good, but I should never have read them so close together.

what japanese learning books did you buy?
i bought one on japanese character writing, Hiragana/Katakana
one on gramar, and i just bought another one that is a workbook and is a little easier than the grammar one i bought.
1 book a day! , i would be lucky if i finished in a couple of weeks, or a month.

i understand if its harry potter cuz i finished the 5th book in 2 days and the 6th in a day in a half.. it gets addicting.
