In the midst of my mania wearing off and the commencement of the sadness taking over, I’ve decided to isolate myself and reread all my favorite books. Tonight I’m starting Breakfast of Champions. This book never gets old to me. 📚

chartr.co/newsletters/2023-06- Reading is FUNdamental. I used to read more than I do now. I am used to reading news and politics on apps and social media. The other day I craved escape from the world. I actually read an entire book cover to cover in 2 1/2 days. Now I remember why I loved reading…there will be more!

"I have a theory that people who don’t read much before the age of fourteen never fully develop areas in the brain that process text into images or experiences. If you become a serious reader only in college, you interpret everything analytically. I sometimes see this in academic critics—they’re so intelligent, and yet something eludes them."

Brilliant take by Olga Tokarczuk in the

Becoming aware of prior art seems to be a waning skill. There is a lot of "yet another" product int he market, mostly because people fail to understand what's been done before so they can focus on what's new and unique.

Reading a variety of sources helps.

Reading to fuel your confirmation bias doesn't help.

11th finished book of the year. A new-to-me mystery series (Ruth Galloway series), book 1. I liked it a lot, and I will read the next one, but I hope the main character is not going to constantly bring up her weight in the subsequent books - it detracts from the flow of the story rather than giving her character substance. 📚

10th finished book of the year. I have lived in New Orleans my whole life, and this book delighted me beyond words. The author portrays the flavor of the city not just in the food, but in the characters and music. It’s a love letter to the city, and to Black culture and family here. A great book to finish on Mardi Gras Day!📚

I’ve been read to forever…
I adore it.
Imagining the story in my “minds eye”.
I read aloud to family on long car rides (they got🤢)…
Babysat for💰thru college & “story time” solved most tantrums.

My G-ma read to my G-pa everyday of their 65+ yr marriage.
My 1st “sleepover” @ hubby’s place…
He read me 3-4 of the Bard’s sonnets in the morn.
I read to him most days.
Non-fic & novels. News, commentary…you name it!
We’re 1/2 way to myG-parents bar…🤞
Both kids are avid 📖

9th finished book of the year. Mickey7 by Edward Ashton. A murder (?) mystery in spaaaaaaace! The premise is in the title: Mickey7 is the 7th Mickey… what happened to the other 6? I liked this, it moved quickly, though it was a bit predictable.📚
