@contentIandwell I am the same way. Once I start a good book, everything else is at a standstill. I have to credit my mother and my being an only child with a love of reading. She read to me from the day I was born, and I learned to read early to entertain myself. When I started teaching, I loved reading even more and teaching the books, plays, and poetry I assigned to my students. Reading to teach and reading to relax are entirely different, but I loved reading both ways. I read now for relaxation and do not choose books that are complicated. I enjoy mysteries and non fiction and occasionally go back to my Shakespearean plays and Chaucer and the British lit. I taught. It never gets old.
