Great idea! Just picked up Breakfast at Tiffany's. Hope Holly gets together with George Peppard! I mean Fred.

OK, I went to the library on digital and checked out Greg Gutfield’s “The Joy Of Hate.”

Not anymore. Today it's "Kill your Internet."
What if there was a show on TV, where you were watching people read?
Wait for it to come out on NetFRix.
#1 - glasses
Currently reading Game of Thrones - Book 1 of the series. I'm hooked! And I have never seen the TV show.
Heinlen’s “Red Planet” has been re-released in it’s never before seen original version. I just read it from the library on digital.
I wonder if they consider reading the Bible as reading for pleasure.
Once i got a Kindle, there was no looking back. Almost never watch TV other than some older movie on DVD. Prefer reading while relaxing and let the wife watch her drivel.
Got rid of a huge pile of paperbacks, some of which I got a digital version for the supposed re-read. More that a few hardbacks as well. Freed up a lot of room. Amazing how they pile up over the years if you were always a reader.
4. Expand your horizons - Although you may be tempted to read romance novel after romance novel, broaden your horizons by exploring new genres. Not only will you learn more through exposure to new concepts, information, and vocabulary, but it may even help you develop new interests.
3 & 4 rather contradict each other.
Same thing happened to me!
I have been a reader for most of my life.
I try but I cannot enjoy the kindle.
So I use the library instead. Have two small but well run ones.
Pretty much my story. I read my Kindle while the wife watches drivel. Sometimes I have to put in the earplugs to block it out!
Um.... open a book?!

Funny I recently re read Herman Wauk’s books on Winds of War.
I was surprised it didnt hold up as well as I expected. By holding up I mean that although it was a good story, the time that it was written, the late sixties, show through in the story about the thirties and forties.
I think I just might re read the all creatures great and small series.
Recently re read some Heinlin. Could not finish the Foundation trilogy plus two. Held me spellbound in the seventies.
