Yes. I'm starting to read more too. Download an app called Libby. It's super awesome and if you have a free library card it will upload direct to you phone or ebook

i'll check the app out, don't really have an ereader though, and there's no fucking way I'm reading on my phone.

Yes, you should always read more. But good books eh, not silly stuff. If you haven't already (which would be shocking), get into Philip Roth (G.od bless his soul, he passed recently) sharpish, one of the greatest American authors of the 20th AND 21st century.
Start with The Human Stain, then The Plot Against America, then carry on with the rest.

Yes, I personally kinda regret not reading more when I certainly have the time. So if you have any motivation, I believe you could do so.

maybe will check him out. I have a stack of novels from one of the cohorts from the Iowa Writer's Workshop that I am supposed to be reading through, but I've been reading this series instead: http://www.sternberg-press.com/index.php?pageId=3&bookId=&sort=&cat1=120&l=en

Reading comprehension and understanding external viewpoints are critical skills that aren't popular enough.

i usually start reading and get bored very quickly, not sure if it's a motivation or attention issue. ledbowman posted...
