How about a little chit chat thread?

Tomorrow is a book sale at my favorite town library. Another one on Saturday elsewhere but close by...WHHHHOOOOOHOOOOO, um did I mention I am really passionate about reading? I mean more than food? Really, I am serious.
 

Fur, I am glad you read. It's a good thing to do. I haven't been able to get myself to read since college when I HAD to read all sorts of junk I didn't know if I even wanted to. I should get over that already!
 
I have tons of books, but now when I start to read I fall asleep. Does age have something to do with that? šŸ˜Š
 

Quite possibly, I have books for bed too. No brainers or so intense like war history...lights out...can't think no more. But a good read anytime of the day or night will take you away in words.
 
Since I'm a writer and do it all the time, I'm constantly editing whatever I read, like I do my own work. I read it like, how would I do their stories differently? If I read in bed I would get into the story and then be thinking about it all night instead of sleeping. I would like to find some good entertaining books that are mild fantasy/paranormal/visionary. Mostly I like books where the characters are fully fleshed out, and I get to know what they are thinking and who they are in the inside. I do not like stories where anyone is evil or deranged.
 
Reading is good for the soul :)
I am off to a "show and shine" tomorrow. (car show, old preserved, old modified, old in general, new, new souped up, you name it, and likely some spiffy motorbikes there too. It's a big annual affair. Weather should be mighty fine :)
 
Speaking of books, I returned from the library not long ago, I picked up several books including two more in a series called freakonomics, I highly recommend, at least the one I read a few days ago, titlted, Think Like A Freak, of which sparked me to pick up the writers' earlier works.

I know I should be at the beach, but I don't have the energy to deal with the sweltering heat, just walking out the door and you start to melt; the humidity is stiffling.

When I try to read, I get so sleepy I can't hardly hold my eyes open but I try! That's why I don't even pick up a book during the day. I wait until I go to bed and then I read unless I have just finished a book. Once I finish one, it is so hard to get started in another one. Once I do though, it is hard to put it down even though I'm so sleepy I can't stand it!
 
I just had a look at that picture everyone was talking about. Absolutely beautiful, took me right back to PA and all the lovely old barns. Even the ones a bit rough around the edges are still charming. The book sale was themed Summer Reading Fiction, I usually read everything but...Still found some treasures and board books for Mr. Baby. The towns sale is tomorrow.
 
Does your local public library have a summer reading program?
