What’s the best thing you’ve ever found randomly on the street?
A few Labor Days ago, we were at the Strand Bookstore. As is the norm, they have their bargain-book racks outside. One of the books that was on sale was this huge biography of Ulysses S. Grant. It was a 1,100+ page work on the 18th President and only $5. That was a steal in my mind. So much so that it still sits on my bookshelf, untouched since that day.
What’s a book you never finished but still think about?
Does the dictionary count as a book?
On the other hand: There are lot of books that I’ve finished that I did not understand at all.

And I’m aiming for more. Do you have any suggestions? I’m open to them.
Thanks in advance.
Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?

I really did not get into reading for fun until my teenage years. Aside from that my leisure activities were watching TV, playing video games, or engaging in a bit of basketball.
