Justin Lloyd's Thinkering

Somebody needs to think about this stuff...

Reading

I made it a goal in 1985 to read one book a week.

Generally I have managed to stick to that goal for the most part.

Some years I couldn't get as much reading done as I wanted to.

My GoodReads list shows that I have a smidgen under 3,500 books that I have read.

And there are at least 300 books on my GoodReads list I have yet to tackle.

So much to read. So slow a reader.

Due to dyslexia I am not a particularly fast reader.

I plod through books at a pedestrian pace. I am jealous of people who can read quickly and I have no clue how people are able to speed read and retain all that information.

It's only dogged persistence that lets me get through a book some days.

Today I finished reading “The Malifestro Quest” by Steve Meretzky

Like all the Zork/Infocom books, these are just bad. A guilty indulgence.

Read – Fleet of Worlds

Today I finished reading “Fleet of Worlds” by Larry Niven

Interesting concept. I found it improbable and had difficulty suspending my disbelief long enough to enjoy it.

Read – Tortilla Flat

Today I finished reading “Tortilla Flat” by John Steinbeck

If you aren’t depressed after reading a Steinbeck you obviously weren’t paying attention.
