We can all learn to love reading

1. Haven't read a fiction book in 25+ (maybe more) years.

I read math and science and do research on the topics related to my work. I appreciate a lot of the great tv of late which does have incredible character development.

Narcos, Breaking Bad, Dexter, The Wire, Billions, Better Call Saul, Ozark, Peaky Blinders.

Maybe I don’t read because if I have time to read, I should have time to get more research done and I guess I never really enjoyed it anyway or I’d find a way. Maybe when I read, I just read it as a list of facts like a newspaper article, so it doesn’t grab me. Maybe my right brain iq is half my left brain iq.

If the weather’s nice (or even not so nice), I want to be outside exercising or just exploring….yet another reason, I don’t read so much…I can’t sit still!

2. What a Sweet Story

I have fond memories of my mother reading to us kids every day when we got home from school. She'd read a few chapters every day. We went through all the old classics; Alice in Wonderland. Grimm's Fairy Tales, Hans Christian Anderson, so many more. i wouldn't trade those memories for anything.

3. Beautiful

I love reading stories. My mom bought me so many books and I bought lots of books at school book fairs. Definitely helped me with my own story writing

4. I can't imagine not reading.

I grew up in a household where both parents read. Mom read out loud to us kids even long after we could read ourselves.

I read fiction and non-fiction, about two-thirds is the latter.
