12. I don't keep count. But I was reading Noam Chomsky's Requiem for the American Dream

Sep 2017

yesterday while waiting for my car to get an airbag recall replacement at the dealer.

I tend to read more fiction than non-fiction. I always have several books with me when we travel. I get up early
and read while my husband is still sleeping.

Don't read as much when I'm home because once I start a book I don't want to stop and I'd never get anything done.

Looking forward to our week at the beach--if there's any beach left!--in mid-October. I take a whole bag of books to
the beach and can read as much as one book/day while there.
