I love reading but since returning to Ohio, I have not done too well. I am so busy here there is not much luxury time to just sit & read all day.. but I do make an effort to read a chapter or two a day. Normally in PM after my back is shot for day. Take a glass of wine & dogs way to the back of property before it drops off into the Cuyahoga Valley. Have Toby tied up (sorry) and Josy runs free. Sit & read & throw sticks down the ravine so Josy runs off some energy.

Sometimes I read for just 20 minutes & sometimes til it is so dark I cant see any longer & maybe for 2 hours,

I do primarily political, religious. Novels are usually not part of the mix unless it is an historical novel. Two summers ago I read Gone with Wind & Scarlett. Those two books took all summer. I kept renewing GWTW from the library. Found Scarlett an enjoyable book

I watch next to no TV. Only series was 24 & V. I do watch pro sports. Next to NO news on any network/channel. Mom’s Direct TV is on 24/7.

Like today, rain pouring, cats laid all over the house asleep (the play and fight at night, right over around and across my bed). Rain makes my satellite go out on TV, I grab a book and start reading, and I do watch a lot on the tube, daytime, news—night time, religious programs and read off and on all day and night.

I have this thing of collecting books for inmates and ssk for soft cover books, they give me both, soft and hard cover books, I read them and now am going to take them to a section in the church lobby for folks to just take home and read, when finished, put them back on the shelf so others may get them. I really need to take a trip to Parchman, state pen in MS and get some books up there, local jails are fine, they read, tear them up, replace with different books and keep going on.

A GOOD PROJECT FOR ALL TO DO IN YOUR CHURCH!! IT WORKS!!
Toby
