What I'm Reading Now -- Last Child In the Woods

I first saw Last Child In the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder many moons ago when I was working at a bookstore. I was intrigued then by the idea of the book then, and remain so to this day.  Despite having never actually read it, I have recommended it to several people who were complaining about their kids' obsession with games, phones, and other technology.  I tell them I haven't read it yet, "but it's on my list," and I also tell them how much I appreciate the time I spent outdoors as a child, now that I'm an adult who works at a computer all day.

Now I will finally read it, and tick off another book in my 2026 Reading Challenge along the way.
