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 – I Wish That I Had Duck Feet

by

Today I finished reading “I Wish That I Had Duck Feet” by Dr. Seuss

I did not like this book.

I did not wish I had duck feet.

I found the premise rather odd.

It wasn’t the rhyme, nor the beat.

I just was happy with how I was, by God.

Read – Fox in Socks

by

Today I finished reading “Fox in Socks” by Dr. Seuss

Update from the adult Justin: I can remember the exact day that I read this because I was given this book on my birthday and I read it that night in my bed, aloud, to my Father.

Fox in Socks and Green Eggs & Ham are still my two favourites.
