When I was growing up, I preferred reading biographies about historical figures and baseball players. I still enjoy books about history, especially Texas history. I also like studying forces that helped shape today's economy and social structure. The Good life and its Discontents: The American Dream in the Age of Entitlement, 1945-1995 and The Dream and the Nightmare: The Sixties' Legacy to the Underclass each provide food for thought and discussion.
Laura and I often read to our daughters when they were young. One of their top requests was The Very Hungry Catapillar.
Our capacity for discovery is never lost as long as we continue to read, both for learning and for pleasure, throughout our lives.
