I don’t consider myself "smart," just deeply curious. I’ve spent years revisiting the same works in science and Scripture because, as Mortimer Adler said, being "well-read" is about depth, not just volume. Like my friend Robert Weyer used to say, true learning takes time. 📚✨

When my boy reads a book, it is well read. Feel it may have gone through as much as the main character.
Just a shame it’s his sister’s book…and she treats hers well.

#CurrentlyReading Shit Cassandra Saw by Gwen E. Kirby. At first I didn't think it was for me, but the more I read the more I got dragged into each story. I am almost finished and I am really glad that I picked this up. I got the recommendation off a list of books of 2022.
