USSR (Uninterrupted Silent Sustained Reading)

I went to public schools. And we had a program as we grew up called USSR or Uninterrupted Silent Sustained Reading. It's not a commie plot. It was an hour of reading. I loved reading, so I loved USSR. You could ready anything you wanted as long as you were quiet and at least pretending to read. Most read. A few didn't, but most did. I think it was a ploy to get teachers a quiet hour to just relax from the punks we were. But I loved it nonetheless. This pick or connection (it's kind of both) is about books and reading. No specific books or authors which I will post later. It's in honor of today being Book Publishers day. Unfortunately, too many people never read a single book after getting out of school. Me? I read a lot. It's been harder since I got older and I have to wear reading glasses, but I try to read at least one or two books every week. Closer to one nowadays, but I try. Tell me your favorite authors or book titles in the comments.  And BTW, I just love Jimmy Fallon's song. I crack up everytime. My grandson is on the cover.
