What Are You Currently Reading?

A friend used to say, “You are changed by the company you keep and the books you read.”  While I do not fully agree that I’m truly changed by people and books, I admit both the company I keep and the books I read do have an impact on me: they delight me; they enlighten me with new knowledge & insights; they frustrate me; they entertain me; they move me to action; they encourage me; they make me think deeply.

I read every day; sometimes my ‘reading’ is listening to a podcast or a book on Audible.  If you haven’t tried listening to a book’s recording over Audible, you are missing out.  While not all of the reading voices are superb, most are; they are engaging and portable.  I listen in the car while driving or at the gym while on the treadmill.  Yes, I still read the old fashioned way too, but, I cannot pick up old books because I’m allergic to book lice.  If you’re interested in learning more about these wee creatures, check out this website: https://pestpilots.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-identifying-and-eliminating-booklice-from-signs-to-solutions/.  I like reading on my Kindle because I’m a minimalist and m Kindle takes up almost no shelf-space…and no book lice!
