If you haven't already figured it out by reading my Weekly Wrap-Up posts, I've been on quite the reading binge lately. I seem to be speeding through a book every day or two. Part of it is my Kindle Paperwhite, and how easy it is to read a few pages (or chapters) here and there, and part of it is that I've been sick and resting a lot more than usual.
Those who understand the history of technology and the people who made it happen can probably figure out more quickly how to build on the shoulders of giants and advance technology further. Here's some books that are great fun to read because they either relate great ideas that influenced a generation of technologists or because they chronicle the lives of people who changed the world.
Reluctant readers are often reluctant because they associate reading with schoolwork, studying, parental pressure, and other less-than-awesome activities. And as the leisure options for children continues to increase multifold with portable video games and smart phone apps abounding, the number of kids reading for pleasure has been on a steady decline. Having fun, no matter the material, is the first step toward a life of book-loving. To get your reluctant reader to have more fun reading, try interactive books that place a premium on laughs and entertainment.
I can't explain the need to always find more books to read although I think sometimes I appreciate Library books for the deadline and structure they give me. When I bring home books, I can add them to my list of books to be read, but if I don't get to them for awhile, it's no big deal, cause they'll still be there. Oh, but library books require you read them within a certain time period or you will be charged money! So until all my library books are turned in, I put other books aside(usually) and JUST read those. About the only times in my life I actually follow a set order!
So, to everyone who's recently emailed me, and has not heard back yet, I'm sorry. I will get to your email, but it's going to take me some time to read them all and reply individually (which I feel everyone deserves even if the book does not appeal to me). I hate form emails and imagine that authors and publishers hate form rejections. Have you ever gotten this behind before? Is it just me, or is saying 'no' really hard to do?
