I am always reading a book, sometimes two or three. There will be one in my upstairs bathroom for bathtub reading and one in my downstairs bathroom and perhaps another on my desk. I generally read 2 or 3 pages at a time unless I'm really hooked on something, then I might read for 20 minutes or so. I don't have the time for long reading sessions, especially since I have to use my eyes so much in my work.

When I finish a book, I generally look around for something else to read. That something else showed up courtesy of UPS yesterday and it was by an author I know fairly well--me. The book was Eagle Behind the Curtain, a novel I wrote many years ago, then forgot about. Now that we have print-on-demand capabilities and a full blown publishing company, I decided to put it into print. 

I picked it up and put it down several times throughout the evening, not sure if I could stay interested. After all, I know the plot. But after getting past the first ten pages or so, I found myself enjoying it and wondering what's going to happen next. After all, it has been a long time since I read it and I don't really remember many of the details.

In chapter two I found a grammatical problem that I and my editor (my lovely wife, Joyce, of course) both missed. It was a case of a plural pronoun being used when it should have been singular. Perhaps no one else will catch it, but it almost ruined the book for me. Then I read past it and forgot about it. I'm enjoying the story and wondering how my mind could come up with something so creative. I sure hope readers and reviewers feel the same way.
