Reading Books

Gems hidden, in plain sight,
I read books, with all my might.
Hoping to learn, a few new things,
Reading to me, knowledge brings. 

Critiquing ideas, having my say,
I review books, so that I may,
Separate the wheat from the chaff,
The erudite scholar from riff-Raff.  

Daily reading, target set, 
Tracking goals, I've not reached yet.
I'm driven to finish a book a week,
Compulsively hooked to my reading streak.

I've all but forgotten, what its like, to read for mere pleasure,
Reading to me has become a chore, and not what it used to be - for leisure!
