Question, what is a book?

As a non fan of fiction books, Capstick’s books were all fun to read. If anyone just discovers them, when you’re done watch Out of Africa and many things in the movie will resonate with you.

Capstick rekindled my love of and desire to visit Africa

Man...I envy you guys that have the time to read for fun.
I was the opposite of OP...I was reading Gary Paulson and Micheal Critchon books for fun in grade school.
I read a few articles on Cowboy State Daily now and then...and too much here. I sure hope i can find time to enjoy a book again at some point in life.

I make a point of reading daily. Just a little bit, usually as I'm laying down to sleep.

Deer stand season is coming, and an all day sit is a great time to catch up on a little for my ADHD a$$. Read a page, look around, slowly turn page, repeat.

Books that I’ve loved. Historical fiction mostly.
Blood and Thunder
Green Hills of Africa
Something of Value
Labyrinth of Ice
Empire of ice and Stone
I really began enjoying reading in my early 30’s before that I hated it

I feel the same way about books as I do music. When in school I played music for the learning, now I play what I want for enjoyment. Same with books. I read what I want and learn about what I want. It’s freeing

Man I really should learn to read. I’ve got through so far just by memorizing lots of words

I’m a little over halfway through the Joe picket series in the last year and a half. Awesome series!

If you like the Joe Pickett series I bet you’d like the Longmire books

I think my academic background had me thinking I had to read to learn, and so I was trying to read textbooks and non-fiction - which is all great and dandy, but can be a bit dry.

Recently, I started Jack Carr's series, then got into some Marc Cameron, and some David Balducci. All just semi-mindless action books, but I have really enjoyed the relaxation it brings. I'll have to check out some of the suggestions on this thread.

Also, be sure to check out your local library if it's handy! Amazon has convinced so many folks to just buy $20 books here and there, but my library has most of them either as a physical book, or e-book. Maybe this is a no brainer, but I've really enjoyed diving back into my library with my son too - we can get books on dump trucks, school buses, garbage trucks, and whatever else catches my eye.

Funny enough, I'm also in my late 30s.

I thought this was going to be a thread about losing your virginity.

What a letdown.

I watched the first season.
