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.

Read – Danny Dunn, Invisible Boy

by

Today I finished reading “Danny Dunn, Invisible Boy” by Jay Williams

Update from the adult Justin: This was the first book I read in the Danny Dunn series, and I devoured them all in any order I could get them.

This was also the very first book I checked out of the public library on a brand new library card from the Penarth public library.

I also learned, a few weeks later, I had the power to fill out a little rectangular card with up to a half-dozen book titles, and have them brought from another library somewhere else in the country directly to my local library so that I could read them.
