So, discussing various childhood traumas with  fairest1 , (both of ours seem to center around classmates reactions to wallflowers and bookworms) I was reminded of getting in trouble in junior high for going to the school library too much.

Why?  Because my teacher thought I was lying and going to goof off because he didn't believe that I could read 2-3 150-225 page books overnight.  (Homework took an hour to an hour-and-a-half, these were light R.L. Stine, Christopher Pike, Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books and the like.  When I had money of my own, I was buying Terry Brooks and Forgotten Realms and the like.  Not exactly great literature, but enough of a difference that most of what the school library had was reading extremely quickly.)

This merant that at least once every few weeks, I was either finishing what (if any) homework I had for the day while I was at school when the other students were reading, or I was rereading what I'd checked outt he day before.

It wasn't my ability to read that was questioned, just the speed I did it at.

Which is what I meant. It is a reading ability, to read quickly. :P
