Freshly Squeezed by Ed Stein for September 30, 2023

Reminds me of several series I read pretty quickly. You really can get hooked on them.

I used to read like that when I was a kid and even later. Now, not so much. I read so many books, I got read out. Now I do some audiobooks and lectures on history.

Wait until he finds the Gutenberg and OpenLibrary websites and he’ll be right back on the computer every waking moment…

That was my childhood. My parents despaired of buying me books because I read 1200 wpm. Fortunately, we moved every year-and-a-half and I got a new town library to choose from.

As with many youngsters of my day, I was hooked on the Hardy Boys book series. I was devastated when later in life I learned that the man I hero-worshipped as the author, Franklin W. Dixon, wasn’t a real person at all but rather a pen name used collectively by random authors who had actually written them.

I volunteered 1 day a week at the Denver public library when I was a senior in high school; 10 books a week is all they’d let me check out at a time.

Book nerd! :D
