I seem to have lost my desire to read. I have only read one book since the beginning of 2012 and I only read it because someone loaned it to me and I wanted to return it A.S.A.P. It was a great book, and I enjoyed it, but I haven't read one since.
I do keep putting books on my Kindle, especially the free ones and the ones that are coming out by my favorite authors, but have do desire to read.
I tried to make myself read the other night and ended up reading the first paragraph over and over again.
This has never happened to me before. Sure I would take a week or so off from reading in the past when I was busy with other things, but to just not read...that has never happened.
I loved my dentist when I was little. His name was Dr. Lipton and because I had so many dental issues I had to spend a lot of time in his chair when I would go for a visit. He would let me read while he worked in my mouth. In fact, it was Dr. Lipton that told my mom I needed glasses. He knew because I started holding the book closer and closer to my face to the point he said there wasn't room for him to work.
It isn't like I haven't been using my brain at night. I have been working Sudoku puzzles every night.
My friend JB is getting irritated because he wants me to read a couple of books so we can discuss them. He reads about four hours a day so he does not understand why I haven't been reading. Of course, as I tell him, he is an "old" man with nothing better to do.
I am sure I will get back to reading eventually. Right now everything in my life seems a little off kilter.
