I never read a book that I wasn't forced to read.

Reading for me is a pleasure, though I find I start a lot of books and send them back after 70 pages or so.

I'm rereading Unbounded Courage at the moment.  I often find the second time through I pick up on some stuff of note.

Run for president.

This is a very sad sentence.

I used to read quite a lot of books, especially sci-fi.  My problem is that I’m a pretty fast reader, and I tend to binge read.  So once I pick a book up I tend to read it cover to cover in just a few days versus a few hours here and there.

I'm loading up my iPad for a long flight, maybe I should get some boring books.

I tried to get some of the books on that list on my iPad, all of them I have not read are on 'back order'.  This is via the Libby app which downloads library books.

It's very useful, to me, I used to troop up to the library once a week or so for real books.  It's a nice walk.

Often I put a hold on 3-4 books I want to read and suddenly 3 of them appear at the same time, and I have to release 1-2 of them back.

This is a very sad sentence.
I've been president of two companies, board president for a chamber, and board president for a college foundation.

You?

No need to answer. We know.

I was Treasurer of a flying club once.  I tried to get my wife to run for the HOA here, but no dice.

I prefer being a nobody.

I'm an officer in our 501(c)(3) charitable non-profit that ran the tailgate.
I'm the Committee Chair for my son's boy scout troop.

I guess that's about it.
