I think that for me it truly depends on the book, and I have yet to figure out the magical formula. Like BTD, most of what I'm reading is school related... I'd figure it around 97%. I think I'd have more time to read if it weren't for having presentations and case studies due (practically) two-by-two on a weekly basis. I'm spending much of my spare time (like work breaks) working on outlines and reading the material. The rest of my spare time is here or at work. Yay. Now that things are lightening up, I'm finally working on finishing The Strange Case of Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde, which I'd started a couple of years ago (sad, since it's such a short story).

In all of my readings, I find that the difference is really in how it was written. Some books are simply better than others, and that goes for textbooks, too. Some texts I can read once and it's absorbed; others I have to read twice and go over key parts a third time just to be on the right track. I'm looking forward to getting back into books again. Whee!
