As anyone who has been forced to do book reports or meet a reading quota for school knows, reading should be a pleasure and not a chore. For my kids though it was mostly a complaint about having to read the stupid assigned 100 page book instead of the 500 page novel they were currently devouring...

And that's fine, but they were making me feel bad about him every time I looked at them. I prefer to remember how the books made me feel when I read them, when he seemed to have an understanding and caring viewpoint, before he turned into a hateful little small brained man.

Used to enjoy his work. I've met him twice, the first time he was friendly and charming, the second he had turned into a very bitter person it seemed. He really wrote beautifully but I've ended up giving his books away even though they were signed because I couldn't stand how he had changed and the things he says now.

Make your house really inefficient, forget lots of things so you have to walk back and forth a lot. Get a standing desk. Take breaks to just walk around. Put on some music and Dance!
