Reading

I read a lot, and have, off and on, throughout my life.  I love mysteries.  I like autobiographies.  I like historical novels.  I like books about people and places.

Reading connects me.  I usually look forward to being able to spend some time reading. I want to read tonight, but  I cannot follow baseball and read.  And I want to watch the wild card games. I can have a baseball game on, and read, but I am not following baseball.

I will have time to read later this weekend. I need to get going, I have two more books for three book clubs this month.

As I said, reading connects me. It connects me because it teaches me about people. It gives me new information and ideas.  It broadens my world. It also connects me be because I know people who also are reading what I am reading, and with whom I can discuss books.

It connects, when I am reading a series, because I get to know the ongoing characters of the series, and I like getting to know these people.
