    I have averaged a book a day for sixty years. That's not 22,000 different books, of course. Some of my favorites I read almost every year, so I might have read them least fifty times. I'm now old enough that pretty soon I'll be able to save a lot of money by buying only one truly enjoyable ebook and reading it every day the rest of my life, figuring that I'll probably have forgotten most of it by the next morning. (My mother had memory issues the last year of her life, and she also joked about it -- gave me permission to tell her the same stories about her grandchildren every time I visited. I retaliated by saying I was going to teach her a new game -- Easter Egg Hunt Solitaire.)
