Cathy Commiserations by Cathy Guisewite for August 31, 2020

LMAO!

Doesn’t matter the season, I seem to average about 400 pages a week

Most of the books I read are longer than that, works out to about 3 books a month

I’ve been outside (with my mask on of course) as much as possible while the weather’s nice. But once the cooler weather comes in a month or so, I expect to read more while I ride out the end of the election. Hopefully, we will have vaccines and treatments available by the end of this year or early 2021, and will have achieved herd immunity by mid 2021 or so. And we will have put the grownups back in charge by then.

I’ve been reading a lot, actually. What else is there to do?

I love books. Going to the library (I’m old school and don’t do the tech things) is a hassle. Limited open hours; by appointment only; returned books are quarantined for days, so the book you want can take a while before it is in your Purelled hands. I have reread old favorites I owned for years, and enjoyed that very much. I’m always surprised at learning new things when I reread a book I thought I knew so well.

Been rereading the books on our shelves over the summer.

You still have about three weeks.

Now you have to dust all of them.

It’s been the longest/shortest summer ever.

So true. My “To read” pile keeps growing, too.
