Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3533442, member: 1220"] One a serious note, I used to be an avid reader until some 40 years ago. Although, since then I still have picked up and read a book that interested me but not to the level I used to read. Because of my eyes, I seldom read much at all. I did recently find two books on Amazon that I had read some 40 odd years ago. I used to read a lot of science fiction back then and they were two among many I had read. They were "Sos the Rope" and the Stone God Awakens". I don't ever really remember ever reading a book twice. There just were too many new ones to read and besides that, I always had a good memory. For many years I lived across the street from a branch of our library where I spent every day in the summer from opening to closing, there I completely read every book at my reading level which was at least about 5 years higher than normal. My mother used to complain to a friend that she would have to make sure I was sleeping rather than reading at night. In response that friend gave me boxes of books that she had acquired over the years. My mother did not tell me they were for me, but I eventually found them and read all of them as well. There were some really good ones that really expanded my perspective. One was pilgrims progress which was a10-year-olds exposure to metaphor. There were also a few psychology books as well as textbooks and a number of classics. This question really brought back memories of a time when I was a reading fanatic. [/QUOTE]
