I am 72 years old. I have 8 grandchildren. I have children. My previous job was a librarian. My mother was also a librarian. I like to watch tv, netflix, read, and listen to music. I am quiet. I think the documentary The Social Dilemma is the best movie on Netflix. I don't use social media. I am reading a book series right now. I also enjoy memoirs. I am currently reading Trevor Noah's memoir, and I find it really interesting. I do not like when a book takes too much effort to interest a reader. I think a good book takes no effort to get into. I have a kindle I received as a gift. My grandkids get happy when I use the kindle they gifted me. I prefer physical books over digital ones.
I am a tax account and I am at the computer all day.. I moved last month to a new apartment. My favorite musician is sufjan stevens. I like to read and listen to music. I like to run and eat high-protein foods after. I am both quiet and loud. My favorite movies are any of the star wars. I saw the Social Dilemma. I like to read memoirs. I have read Trevor Noah's memoir before, I found it a quick read. I like reading, but dislike when a book is hard to get into and is a slow read. I read a little every so often. I read when I am by the pool and sometimes at work. I did not like reading when I was a kid. I prefer audio books over reading actual books. Audio books help me relax my eyes over reading. I am interested in getting a kindle, to use over paper books.
I discovered a new memoir a day ago that I have started to read, and I think you might be interested in reading it as well. It also can be found as an audio book, with several narrators that you might enjoy and like listening to.  Oh! Who is it about? The book is titles "Cant Hurt Me" and it is a memoir for David Groggins. He talks about his transformation from young adult into a US Armed Forces elite. Oh wow! I'll have to get it! It would be nice to be able to see things from the perspective of someone who went into the military, it's such a different world than being a civilian! Yes, it is really a good read. The story locks you in from the very beginning as he details his childhood of poverty, racial prejudice, and physical abuse. Through his 40% rule on mentality, he transformed him self from depression into the only man in history to complete elite training as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and Air Force Tactical Air Controller. That's a heck of a resume he built! So far the only elite training I've ever completed was being an elite snoozer. It's so hard to get out of my cozy bed for my morning run somedays! Hahaha an elite snoozer! How funny! I can definitely relate to that. But, David Groggins argues that most of us only tap into 40% of our capabilities we must push past that pain and fear threshold to achieve our potential. It has really changed my life since I began implementing it. That sounds so inspirational! I think I'll enjoy reading it! How are you doing today? I am doing fantastic today, thank you for asking. Have you read any good memoirs lately? I would love a recommendation from you. I just started reading Negroland by Margo Jefferson, and it's a real page turner! I love how she describes what it was like in their own little cultural corner of Chicago when she was growing up.  Oh, interesting. I will definitely pick that up when I am at the library next. Where did you first hear about this book? Honestly? I googled for some good memoirs. I wanted to find something that gave me a view into a different culture, so I just shopped around and found it!
