I gone 20 years never reading. Always thought it was a chore. Like a high school or college reading assignment.

One day I noticed people were talking about books. I became increasingly embarrassed that I never read. Not even magazines. So I had nothing to share.
In 2010 I was randomly in a B&N store and saw the Nook. I decided to buy one. The first books I purchased was The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini and loved it even tho its considered a Young Adult book series. From there I never stopped. I then read The Dark Tower Series. I can not believe I missed out on the joy of reading all those years.
