The DU Lounge

I wouldn’t have guessed as much, though. I suppose I can thank the fact that I’ve always been a voracious reader, especially since I jettisoned TV over 10 years ago.

I also did acute care transcription for 15 years, which requires speed (we were paid by the 56-character line and had to do a minimum of 10,000 lines a day—more if you really wanted to eat and pay the bills) and that probably helped with speed, as well.

I normally read 250 to 360-some books a year (Covid was great for my numbers… *eyeroll*)

Sometimes, it irks me when I finish a book I’m really enjoying because I wish I’d savoured it more—but then I’m on to the next. Hooray for freebie book lists!
