My friend Janelle Shane just recommended the short story And Then There Were (N-One), by Sarah Pinsker, so I think that's next on my list. Which book is at the top of your current to-read list? (I love that the very first fact I wrote down is still sending me down research rabbit holes decades later.) I later learned that thoroughbreds can't run anywhere near 60 miles per hour - Secretariat only ran about 40 - although quarter horses can get close to those speeds partway through their sprints. A champion thoroughbred can run a mile a minute." I carefully copied "A CHAMPION THOROUGHBRED CAN RUN A MILE A MINUTE" onto a piece of paper and was very proud of myself. The book was titled I Can Read About Horses, and one page said, "The fastest horses are called thoroughbreds. The first thing I remember writing down was a sentence I copied out of a book I found on the shelf of my first-grade classroom. What is the first thing - ever - that you remember writing?
