When you're assigned a reading, be it in middle school, high school or college/university, do you actually read the play/book/text? As I already said, I don't. I use either sparknotes.com or cliffnotes.com. So far, it's been worth it. :D

But, I'm as fast a reader as I am typist, and that's pretty fast. :p Oh no... Here, I come, :p - support group. :p Hangs head low and walks away, disapointed that a days worth of support hasn't cured his addition

Our units have required readings, that can be accessed online/printed out via the uni system. ...and I kinda sorta tend to delay reading those until I'm actually doing the essays...
