By Howard B. Owens

One or more a week if I can!

Ill read 2-3 books a year, ill start about 10. Ill get board and put them down. Sometimes picking them up here and again. If I like a book or series, look out, I'll read the whole damn series in a few weeks. I once had gotten into a sci-fi series and read about 30 books in two years.

I will however read an untold number of articles, both in print and digital. Mostly political, with a touch of medical stuff and a good chunk of theological. I'll tell you, It was a reading fest for articles in my house, when my wife was getting her business degree. She had college access to a lot of great journals.

I will say that there is no more of a bitter sweet moment than that of the last page of a good book.
