Reading to a ratio of 5:1
Today was a chemotherapy day. The nurse who was infusing me thought I was the person in longest continuous chemotherapy on their current patient list. I don't know if that's good or bad - almost eight years of nonstop chemotherapy, but I'm alive! I've raised four puppies in that suite for Canine Companions for Independence and Demi still accompanies me regularly.
I've never outgrown the pleasure of being read to. Nor have I grown tired of reading the same books over and over. I once estimated that for every book I read for the first time, I reread five others.
Today I finished listening to the audiobook, THE NANNY DIARIES, by Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus. I enjoyed the book when it first came out but I think hearing it read meant more to me. If anyone wants to know what pathological narcissism looks like, read (or listen to) this book!
