Is It Normal To Read This Much?
heya, im 12, a girl, and i go to a public school. im just wondering if u think this is strange or not, but i can read around 2 200 paged books a day, and acouple 400 paged ones a week. i was readinng harry potter in kindergarten. i spend so much money on books that i either buy in second hhand shops, reread my good books, and my dad has started giving me his old books that he read in his 16+ years. im reading at a 11th grade/college level, but find those books harder to get into, so i read smaller books, but more often. i was also wondering for any good book requests. xxx thnx

Wow! That’s awesome!
When you get to high school, your reading could place you in AP courses and Honor courses.. which will result in a GREAT college resume.
Plus, if you DO get into those honorable classes, I hear that they assign a ton of reading and book reports. Easy for you, though since you can read super fast!
Don’t worry, this is a great thing and will do you much good!
well, im 15 y.o
and my school year average # of books since i really started reading in 6th has been 137 Books at about 15,675 page
my record has been 8th grade at 156 books and 21,998 page (and mind this, this is ALLL during school time that i read)
im going into 10th grade and i read at a college level
try either of these
CHERUB series (thou it might be a bit more, adulted for you)
Rangers Apprentice
PenDragon
Percy Jackson
Inheritence series
It’s GOOD to read that much. To me I think you have problems only because I think reading is a sin that will lead to World War 5 (a war so grand it skips the other 2). But I must say I’m glad to know that there are still people out there like you who read and don’t prove that our world is a bomb about to blow up.
Reading’s good for you, it stimulates your brain more other activities (watching TV, going on the computer) and it excercises your imagination. So keep on readin’!

that’s normal. i love to read. i finished an 150 page book in 2 hours, a 350 page book in 5 hours, and a 500 page book in 2 days.
It okay to read a lot. It makes you smarter. And most books you’re reading right now you’ll probably read in middle and high school. If I get a good book, I can’t stop reading. But take a break every once in a while
This is actually really good and you should be proud
Books i recommend:
Twilight Series
The ugly Series (i know its a strang title but its a really good book)
Diary Entries books
Chicken Soup
Series of Unfortunate Events
House of Night series
Most girls your age are watching tv, not reading.
Good for you though for reading so much! It’s actually a really good thing.
it’s fine. I had a tenth to eleventh grade reading level when i was eleven. it’s great and it can get you somewhere.
I think it’s a good thing since most people just stare at the TV/computer all day.
Kudos!
However, make sure you take a break and rest your eyes once in a while.
Have you tried the encyclopedia yet?
:]
NERDDDD
