I think a good book that hooks you in from the start and keeps the chapters short so you feel like you are reading more than you actually might be are a rare gem. I’ve been a big reader my entire life. My brother is 9 years younger than I am so I had to entertain myself. I had a library card by the time I was in 2nd grade. I swear I read a whole wall of books one summer.
Growing up in a small town, books were a way to transport me to other places with different experiences. We had to drive 10 minutes to get “fast food”. Not that my little small town isn’t a great place to grow up, it just didn’t expose me to various avenues and adventures of the world.
I’ve always wanted to be a part of a book club, however, I’ve never found one that I’ve taken the leap to reach out to and join. I tried to start one at school but then they meet on the night I have clients and I can’t go. Maybe some day. Could that be a retirement goal? π
