Amazon delivered. It was late in the day, but Amazon delivered. You may recall that I typed about Stolen Focus, a book about how our focus is no longer with us. I could not wait for the list of 112 people declined to make my turn to get a copy. So I ordered one. I thought I would get the book and do a quick once over and write about it. Amazon delivered but it was too late in the day for me #% to follow through on that plan. Wednesday is my usual day to go to the Portland Art Museum. I did not go because I was waiting for Stolen Focus to arrive. So the next day with the book on hand I went to the museum. Lots of attention paid to the book and my focus was stolen. I went on to meet friends, like we do the third Thursday of the month. We had a great time again. So today, Friday , I dive into the book. The book has 12 chapters. Bach one is on a case of a focus. I decided to start with “Cause Four: The Collapse of Sustained Reading” It lasts for 12 pages. I am 10 pages into that chapter. Why the author, Johann Hari, delays a book on reading in a book. Can or do people get that far into the book? I skipped the earlier chanters because this on is big for me. I have not read like I used to, this is what I am hoping for. I want to do sustained reading again. It is going to take some sustained focus. I may just skip to the section “Conclusion Attention Rebellion” After that I should, I hope I will be able to have the focus to finish the book. Or so I hope.
