I Read 1984 In 1964

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

I was a fan of Isaac Asimov's work. I think I have read everything he has written, including "The Foundation".

I can't help but notice the patterns in how the system is playing us right now.

It is so in your face that even the blind can see. What I find most perplexing is the sheer numbers of people that are willfully allowing themselves to be weaponized against the very country that they claim the are willing to die for.

The campaign on both sides is disgusting. Nothing more than a three ring circus complete with the naked ladies, and opium tents.

Maybe before we start talking about making America great again, we should wash off some of the mud and feces, and make her at least look clean and respectable first.

You must be a heck of a voracious reader!
Asimov wrote around 350 books plus edited around 150.

No matter, I get your point and I'm quite sure you've read far more than me.

I bolded part of your text above as I think that is spot on!

Yeah. I was what you could call a binge reader when I was young.

Friday was the day I looked most forward to. It was library day. All the people that worked in the library knew me on sight. Every Friday I would check out 6 to 7 books. I averaged 1 book a day.

Keep in mind that I lived in the woods and we didn't have television at the time. I had my hidden spot in the woods where I would sit and read for hours. It was rare not to see me reading a book.

When I was older, my favorite hang out spot was the Library of Congress. I loved hanging out there. Another place where I was well known.

Reading was my great escape. I don't read as many books today as I did back then. Today I spend more time listening. I am either plugged into the Cloud library, Audible, or YouTube audio books.

I love books.
