Freshly Squeezed by Ed Stein for August 03, 2012

Instead of watching a lot of bad tv, I read a book. I can read about 3 in a week, sometime more. So many books, so little time…..

I used to read a little bit every night to my kids before bedtime. At one point i read them The Hobbit. They loved it, so we took a deep breath and started the whole LOTR trilogy. It took about 2 years at our pace. When we finished, I couldn’t read anything else to them for at least a month – it was just impossible to think of reading anything else after that.

I read the great actor Christopher Lee reads the LOTR trilogy once a year; as a tribute to J.R.R. Tokien’s creative genius. After reading the Hobbit, I read the trilogy in one month! I just couldn’t put it down, plus I was out on compensation from job. Win…win situation….

Same here…mine are making threats….lol

and, hold your hat, some authors write more than one book!

Sequel?

I’ve got the same problem… with my last position in the evening, I had lots of free time between calls in which to read so I got a few dozen books from a favorite author to read. Ironically, shortly afterward, I got a promotion that had day hours and a busier schedule so I didn’t have the time to read them. It’s been 5 years since then and I’ve slowly worked my way through 6 or 7 of those books. LOL!

No fear Nate. Young people’s books are mainly about dragons, vampires and all forms of fantasy. Hey whatever gets them to read.

I feel your pain…but isnt it nice knowing that they are there when you are ready for them?

I am sooo there…
