I'm a fifty-nine-year old lifelong reader. I seldom buy a book; I get them at the library. I love the library.
When I was younger and there were family crises, I'd go there when I was upset and seek solace. To me, the library is a peaceful place where no one can get a hold of me, even now because I leave my cell in the car. I find a little corner and just relax.
I have always been a homemaker and mother, having had two part-time jobs I had to leave due to health problems. I liked one of the jobs a great deal and was very upset when I had to leave it. Nonetheless, my family has always been my first priority and I don't regret a thing.
Presently, I am experiencing some pain from newly diagnosed Rheumatoid Arthritis and find it difficult to get into a book; any book, and I find this most upsetting. My hope is that when the pain lessens I will be able to go back to my old ways and read. In the meanwhile, I occasionally can get into a book and I really don't care what it is, if I can lose myself for a while. And of course, there's always TIME or READERS DIGEST to turn to.
I don't necessarily read to improve my mind although I have a theory that unless it's total trash, all books teach you something. I read strictly for pleasure. I am drawn toward mysteries but throw in occasional non-fiction or novels that aren't mysterious.
I love children's books!
And I did, due to modern chemistry, get back to being able to concentrate on books again. I haven't read anything great, though, so I will get other's recommendations and thank them in advance!
