I came pretty close to averaging 1 book a week (49 books). Each book is like a treasure hunt. I’m looking for nuggets of knowledge to add to my calabash. Reading makes me happy, more than I thought it would. This is to make up for all the books I didn’t read when I was a kid. I plan to continue reading a book a week. People who don’t read are definitely missing out on one of the pleasures of life.
