Catapults and Other Machinations

In the Supernova of reading benefits, one person shines extra bright: my second son. He has taken up reading as if it is more important than breathing. He will wake up in the morning, and walk around reading his current favorite book while getting ready for the day. When we go to the library, he is the type of person who will finish reading one of his chapter books on the way home. He will only have a stack of books to carry him through until the next visit. Not only does he read, he is making complicated drawings of catapults and other machinations of mankind. Then he loves to explain his diagrams in great detail. Perhaps he will be an engineer, or another Rube Goldberg.
