Since high school, I stopped devouring books. I used to be a voracious reader as a kid. I was a humanities major and later a lawyer, reading so much for work that I didn't want to do it for fun. I'm proud to say I'm now a reader again! Loving this page turner thingamabob!

@joyousjoyness I have a page turner gadget too that can go both ways! I love it.

@ikklegemzuniverseplus Oooh fancy!

@joyousjoyness They're such a great idea.

@joyousjoyness I was never a fast reader, which made reading a slog when I was in school. I read a very small handful of novels (and somehow LotR) but never developed a habit.

I didn't actually start reading for enjoyment until I got an e-reader. I wanted one just because I thought e-ink tech was *so cool* but it got me to try novels again. Add to that a few speed reading techniques and it finally stuck.

@joyousjoyness ummm that keyboard though

@mausmalone That's wonderful!! So great that you also got faster with reading!

@joyousjoyness Those doohickeys are a game changer. With one of those other things that holds the reader over the bed, I can turn pages and my arms stay under the covers.
