Booksology It has become my Thanksgiving tradition to revisit this lovely work by Jeff, published in 2014. I hope this gives you pause to consider the gift of reading in your own life.
There are many things I like about reading. Here are a few things I am especially grateful for.

I finished reading the book just as the train entered the station.
Seeing someone reading their favorite book in public
good beginning
better ending
Mysterious and heartrending inscriptions in old books
Even after rereading my favorites, I still agree with the notes I wrote in the margins.
Reread old favorites and shake your head at how naive you were.

Honest, Funny, and Humble Acknowledgments
Remembering and applying what you learned in English class
I forgot to bring a book on the plane, but I found a book I really wanted to read at the bookstore at the airport.
Seeing things in daily life that remind you of what you read
Pick up the classics you were avoiding and love them.
Realizing that there are no rules to reading and no one has the answers.
See the font notes at the end of the book.
No matter how bad the last book you read, know that the next book could be your new favorite.
