I was held back a year to overcome my learning disability.

It was called a hormone imbalance at the time or a growing problem that some kids face.

My reading class required me to learn by taking the phonics programme.

I also enrolled in a summer reading program.

As an adult I read more than most, but I tend to spend too much time on devices and with distractions like TV or other time wasters.

Please, read this article and support the effort to help kids learn to read.

I now realize the help and support I received was uncommon.

Let’s help every kid learn to read.

When will it be safe to borrow a book?

Keep calm and read on.

Not only is the year closing in on us, but also the decade. So of course there are best-books-of-the-last-ten-years to be considered. The folks at Literary Hub have declared their top twenty novels (plus a bevy of runner-ups). What novel of the last decade has made its way to the top of your list?

Campaign for the American Reader

Going after the American reader,

They are big powerful people who need to read more…

The habit they may have is to speak their mind,

If I can provoke them into comments, perhaps I can get them to read my blog.

Regardless of nationality, reading can be a good national pastime.

Are readers happier people?

Read more and prosper from the experience.

Okay, 12 books and two cards fell off.

“Something Awesome Happened On The Day You Were Born…  You!!!  Happy Birthday.”

“Happy Birthday Son, You Have Good Looks, You Have Charm, You Have Style…  …it must run in this family, Happy Birthday.”

My sister and mom out did themselves, but I have to admit I left these cards (along with the books) in a pile on top of my already bulging bookcase.

Okay, Merry Christmas, gift card splurge at the bookstore, bought a calendar and books.

Okay, you may not like what I bought, but I highly recommend them all.  Just reading this is good enough.

I got the ‘Insight from the Dalai Lama 2019 Calendar.

I also bought some philosophy books.

Okay, if you don’t read anymore, be sure to pick up something from your local bookstore.

I love philosophy:  Socrates, Epictetus, Ludwig Wittgenstein,  Meditation, and Gratefulness.

I could tell you all the sorted details, but just let me say, I have lots of reading to occupy me for the foreseeable future.
