For Christmas 2022, Meghan’s parents very generously gifted me a Kindle.
At the same time, I’d just purchased a 150 page book. I didn’t want to crack open the Kindle until I finished the book.
It took me nearly four months, but I am now finished the 150 page book. I’m ready for the Kindle.
My 8th grade reading teacher preached that reading was like dating, and if you didn’t like reading yet you just hadn’t found the right match and you needed to keep trying. Little did she know I was a virgin until college. But since then, I am the dragon slayer; I go through ugly book after ugly book, bad match after bad match, and I just can’t find the right one.
That’s comedic exaggeration.
I actually don’t hate reading, and some books I thoroughly enjoy, but I just read so slow. That aside, I fired up the Kindle last night and was frozen with possibility.
Give me a book that changed your life. Give me a book that will completely blow my dick off. I’m not even going to give you an idea of what I like and don’t like because I don’t even know. I thought I would really enjoy the 150 page book and frankly I didn’t (which is why it took me so long to finish).
As an incentive I 100% promise to read at least one of the commented books and write a post about it. Just tell me why I should and I’ll pick one.
Should have gotten you an iPad so you could just watch movies instead. Movies > books. Books are for nerds. Read “Trump: The Art of the Deal”
I can’t get through reading a book without falling asleep. Then I heard George Will (old smart commentator) say its okay to listen to audio books. You can the same benefit, plus you can listen while doing other things. So my favorite audiobooks I think you’d like to read are Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, Based on a True Story by Norm Macdonald, and Fairy Tale by Stephen King. I usually listen to non-fiction bios and history, but one nonfiction you’d like is The Inexplicable Universe: Unsolved Mysteries by Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
