Reading is great! I have been a habitual reader for the last 60 years! I managed to wrangle an adult library card at the age of 14 in Carlsbad NM back in 1961. Reading kept me sane in my teen years!

The book that got me started way back then was CAPTAIN BLOOD by Rafael Sabatini, which I found in the school library in Tatum NM back in 1960.
I’ve read hundreds of books. Read WAR and PEACE last year, and just finished Doctor Zhivago.

You would be shocked to see how different the movies are from the books.

I read War and Peace this past year, too! Was a little hesitant since I hated Anna Karenina, but I really enjoyed W&P and was sad when it was done. Ironically, in spite of my comment, I'm thinking of watching one of the BBC adaptations of W&P on Amazon Prime. 😁

Doctor Z is on my list for 2022...and that is actually my favorite movie!
