(6,121 posts)I'm a 68 year old woman who is quarantining. I live alone, aside from Yogi, my cat. That gives me plenty of time to read.

(46,723 posts)Truly amazes me how many books they read in a week.
Frankly, I use to enjoy speed reading through the classics, when I was younger, until I realized that I was missing out on the lingering wonder of the scenery and everything else that was going on. I just didn't retain as much as the writer wanted me to absorb. It took me two readings to really own a book.
But that's me. Now, it's just a matter of finding the time. Since I read shorter passages, I have time to think about it all.

(6,121 posts)He is a sociopathic narcissist who has no need for other people, unless he will benefit from being around them. It's in his DNA. I really didn't think he was really as bad as his presidency was. He's worse. His upbringing with a father of a similar personality didn't help, but his cruelty was there all the time. Now I know that he will do anything to win the election. Anything. He's a scary guy.

(46,723 posts)There are people who were raised well that believe that he's an example of success. People who you would think are very kind and normal when you first meet them, until you begin to talk about politics and how they feel about tax dollars going out to help people who have less than they have. They don't even realize how they come across, because they were raised to believe that Trump is normal.
