Yes, This Man Reads and Loves Every Minute of it! So Please Join ME!
Good Morning and Welcome to This Man Reads! I’m Ed Karn and I am the Man who reads! There aren’t many times throughout the day that I am not reading! For me reading is like breathing it’s what you do to live! It’s what you do to relax, to learn, to grow! To me it is as important as anything you do. Yes, for me READING IS FUNDAMENTAL!
I have been blogging since 2010 and since I know that I suffer from ADD my blogs have been all over the place. They have covered a variety of topics including; the music that I listen to, the exercising and dieting I do to turn back my biologic clock and my family. This year though I have decided at least for six months to focus solely on books and reading. I separate the two because you can read a lot of other things besides books. And I read them all! You can read magazines, website posts, Hell, you can even read the dictionary or the encyclopedia like I did when I was young! Opps, I do love to read Wikipedia now!!
