Me too. Still read in bed every night. Sometimes I can only get through a few pages before turning out the light. Sometimes, if I find the book riveting, I'll do one of my favorite things in life.......read until sunrise.

Reading is one of the great joys in my life. I spend more time than I'd like waiting in doctor's offices, airports, and elsewhere. As long as I have my book, I'm never bored.

Michael, like you, I've been reading for years and years, and just recently I've come to realize there are books I don't remember reading. It can sometimes be confusing at the bookstore.

I hate it when I pick up a book, and after the first chapter or so, realize I've already read it. At my age that, unfortunately, happens all too often.

I do, sometimes, reread books I've read and enjoyed years ago. Though I've not read them in years and years, I've read the entire Sherlock Holmes series at least 3 times. Hmmm? Might have to do that again soon.
