It all started with a Threads post on July 31, 2026 I wrote to make myself accountable. This is the follow up.
I'm teaching myself how to read again. Not like that dummy. I used to love reading. As an autistic kid growing up it was how I spent all of my time. Then in 1981, I got a TI-99 4/A computer and never looked back. I've been using computers personally and professionally ever since. Even the music albums I put out were mostly MIDI sequencing in Cubase. Consequently my attention span has shriveled. So I bought a Kindle. I figure I can walk away from my devices and see If I can reconnect with books.
And here is where I am going to track my progress.
I started with some old favorites from childhood, and then into some modern stuff. I have a long way to go to get to where I want to be but I’m also busy building during the day. At least my Calibre library has 1700 or so volumes to keep me company with the internet dies.
