My kiddo and I are having a fruit and vegetable challenge. Each month we'll seek out a fruit or vegetable we've never tried and taste it. My BFF is trying to walk all the greenways in our county (that is county not country, low stakes! Attainabl!). How about you?

I recommend finding a movie you love that was a book first and reading it. I’m an extremely picky reader and I did this with Dune and LOVED it. Hasn’t gotten me much further but this may help kickstart your love of reading again.

I recommend The Martian as a book that fits your criteria

Definitely read that one before the movie came out. Excellent read. Great suggestion anyway!

That's what happened with The Hunt for Red October. Got me into Tom Clancy.

Ohhh, I haven’t tackled that one yet. My father loves Clancy (too bad Clancy was a douchebag).
