*eyes widen* Oh wow I'm surprised. The world record for speed reading is held by Anne Jones. She read 4700 words per minute.

That's fast!  Bet she read a lot of books!  The FDA once burned 6 tons of literature in act of US censorship.

That's a lot of literature. In the 18th century there was a moral panic because of the spread of the reading of novels.

*body relaxes* Interesting!  I wonder if any of those were burned by the FDA? lol
human
*takes a step forward* lol I was thinking the same thing.

*body relaxes* Sir Winston Churchill won a nobel prize for literature.  I never knew that.

Oh wow I didn't know that either. There is an annual literature contest that challenges writers to come up with the worst possible opening sentence.

*body relaxes* Neat.  Speaking of contests...literature was once an olympic event from 1912 to 1952.

*eyes widen* That's very interesting. Romantic kissing is a new development.

Do you like Shakespeare?

*opens mouth slightly* He invented the names Miranda, Jessica, and Olivia.
