Having retired in June 2007, I have just begun to get back into my reading habit. In the past 18 months I have read only 12 books. I still have at least 6 DTB lying around here that I have started and not finished. When I read, really read, I may go through 3 or 4 books non-stop, but I get busy with taking care of my parents or grandkids or building a new house and then have no time to sit and read. Even now I am letting my computer time take up valuable reading time, as well as traveling back and forth to Houston and to Midland to see family.
