#7: Measuring Learning

    My work pretty much exactly meets my expectations. I've thoroughly enjoyed everything that I've read. The only thing I was surprised about is how slowly I actually read. When I read in my free time, I always do it in large chunks: I might spend a whole weekend day reading, so I never measure the speed of my reading because I've never read in such short spurts.

     There's no way to measure how much you learn by reading books. Except for the Ernest Hemingway book, all of the other books I chose were fiction. So I've been learning new writing styles and vocabulary except I don't notice it because it's so gradual.

     The evidence of change I have so far shows up in my own writing. In terms of evidence to present at the 20 time showcase, I haven't actually started on that yet. But I can power through quickly with it. Maybe I'll designate my next 20 time period for writing the reviews for the books.

    In terms of challenges and triumphs, I think they're all more subtle and would be more about myself as a reader than anything else.
