Since I retired I have found myself busier than ever before. Especially with grandchildren. They love for me to read to them, and I have read them many books, some were their parent's books we bought them when they were small. When I was very young and lived on an isolated farm in the Northwest I found reading could take me to any place I wanted to go. I always have a book with me wherever I go, because I download them to my PDA and read them when I have down time at the doctor's office or elsewhere. I love reading historical novels, really good fiction, even the labels on the cornflakes box and the dictionary and encyclopedia too. I guess you can say I am an avid reader. « less
