I really enjoyed the Mote book,and I found it was a fairly quick read,it was smooth and full of dialogue and incident so it went by quickly. I am starting Joan Vinge's The Snow Queen now,and its about 460 pages,but quite small print and full of chunks of expositionso its going much more slowly.,I am reading much slower as I get older somehow.I used to be able to read about 40 pages an hour,now its barely 30,so books take longer.Also now I read more online,scanned books and they are sometimes hard on the eyes too,so reading can be a bit slo.and I can read for shorter periods before the eye strain and back pain kick in! lol.
