I was never a fast reader, at most I read one book a month. But when my daughter came along almost 4 years ago, my reading dropped even more. No change in my desire, just less time!

But now is the time for me to get going. I have 4 books on my shelf ready to go with many more to come.


I don't have children of my own, but I work 5-6 days/week with special needs (emotional/behavioral, autism, etc.) and it is rewarding to spend a lot of time with them (well, minus the cursing I get from the E/B disturbed ), but it takes a lot of time and energy away from me that could have gone to reading.

Illusions fall like the husk of a fruit, one after another, and the fruit is experience. - Narrator, Sylvie
