Good Mšrning, Grace!
There's a book š called "The best museum in the world" which I'm really enjoying! It invites you to visit a printed universal museum, and guides you on visited tours like in a physical one ;) pretty original, right?āØļø āŗļø

One of my biggest regrets from the past few years was losing the habit of reading books. All the usual excuses: child to look after, too tired, not enough timeā¦
I didnāt read a ton, but I had an average of 30 books a year. Last year I must have read 6. This year in early April I was at 0ā¦ and the realization shook me to my core.
Something had to be done.
I found out about KOreader and SimpleUI - having on an e-reader homepage a bar with reading stats would be an incredible motivatorā¦ I thought.
Jailbroke my #Kindle, installed #KOreader and #SimpleUI. And 18 days later I haveā¦ an 18 day reading streak and Iām averaging 43 minutes of reading time per day. Iām just so happy! š
(Unrelated but #Technofeudalism is REALLY GOOD - off to go resume reading it for another 20 minutes or so).
John Hollanderās poem Kitty and Bug is self-explanatory in its simplicity. The catās unpunctuated, almost stream-of-consciousness thoughts fit into a physical ācatā shape, while the bug ā in sharp contrast ā is but a 3-letter word near the edge of the page.
Happy #Caturday !

š©āš»ā My So Called Sudo Life: Jailbroken Kindle edition šā
If you followed my #Jailbreaking adventures this past week, I'd like to add a final chapter on the positive effect it had on my reading habits.
Long story short: I used to be an avid reader and I had sadly lost the habit of reading books in the last couple of years (blaming tiredness at the end of the day). I had been looking for a system to encourage me to get back on track. When I found out about #KOreader and #SimpleUI I was totally smitten: an elegant interface that kept track of my reading stats? Sign me up!
In the photo I've attached you can see my reading stats for the past week - aka since I started using KOreader and SimpleUI. If you don't want to squint / find it harder to read: my daily reading average is about 40 minutes. Not bad! I'm just absolutely delighted by this.
