Hence the Sunday five on reading:
1: What are you reading now?
2: How fast do you read?
3: Have you bought any books this year, that you have not read and are unsure you will ever read?
4: Can a person be well read, if they don't read novels?
5: Do you keep a list of the books you have read?
My answers:
1: What are you reading now? Hauling Checks, by Alex Stone
2: How fast do you read? 40 to 50 pages an hour, with occasional gusts.
3: Have you bought any books this year, that you have not read and are unsure you will ever read? Yes, Fear: Trump in the White House by Bob Woodward - too depressing.
4: Can a person be well read, if they don't read novels? I hope so.
5: Do you keep a list of the books you have read? I started 3 years ago, and have been posting on my blog. I wish I had started a read log 30 years ago. I have a log of every hotel I have stayed in since 2005.
Please share your answers in the comments.
1: What are you reading now? YOU!
ReplyDelete2: How fast do you read? Oh who knows...the gin you see.
3: Have you bought any books this year, that you have not read and are unsure you will ever read? Nope.
4: Can a person be well read, if they don't read novels? Absolutely!
5: Do you keep a list of the books you have read? No, but I do keep a list of tried gins!!!
And your Trump in the White House?!?!?! Do you want more nightmares then now before bed?

Delete1: What are you reading now? Hornet Flight by Ken Follett because a neighbor gave it to me.
ReplyDelete2: How fast do you read? Usually a book a week. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
3: Have you bought any books this year, that you have not read and are unsure you will ever read? No.
4: Can a person be well read, if they don't read novels? Sure
5: Do you keep a list of the books you have read? No, and I probably should. It's better now since most of my reading is done on my iPad, which keeps a list for me. But I regularly bought books I had already read because they changed the cover design.
Amazon will tell me if I have ever bought it from them, then a venture into toyland (a book store) and buy dupes.
Delete1: "the good neighbor", a bio of fred rogers
ReplyDelete2: depends on the subject matter
3: no way!
4: yes
5: no
Fred Rogers when to undergrad the same place I did (and Buddy Ebsen and a Nobel prize winning physicist that no one remembers the name of.)
DeleteYou put me to shame. My year-end post (in January) about the list of books I've completed this year is going to be a complete and utter DISASTER. How's that for foreboding foreshadowing?
ReplyDeleteIt will all be fine.
Delete1: What are you reading now? A book on the history of money; "The Golden Ass"
ReplyDelete2: How fast do you read? paradoxically too fast and too slow as well
3: Have you bought any books this year, that you have not read and are unsure you will ever read? lots it's called tsundoku
4: Can a person be well read, if they don't read novels? yes
5: Do you keep a list of the books you have read? yes, in each year's journal.
Sounds like a fun book.
