Being content has made me the man I am

He arrives at our meeting venue a few minutes late but is quick to apologise for keeping me waiting. He is relieved when I show him the book that I had been reading to pass time. He asks to check the blurb, telling me he loves reading. He has an eclectic taste and usually reads 15 to 20 books a year.

He reads in phases and is currently into historical fiction based on the lives of real historical figures. He has read books on Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar and others. When I recommend one based on the life of Thomas Cromwell, he adds the title to his growing list of books to be read, currently at 30.
