One of my readers sent me an interesting article I think might be worth checking out (I have read it, it is a bit long winded and this guy comes of a bit academia heavy (bodies are simply transportation for our heads, kind of thing) but it is good and has some good points). Just got me thinking that Reading is really important to my life, and I really do need a place to go. I mean I read here in the room, but I am talking on IM, updating my blog (yes yes I know), websurfing, writing, snacking, and ben is playing his music, and we occasionally talk about some point or another, and distractions abound. so it isn't really the same.

one thing I have found though is that I will always love reading in the bathroom. First, they have them just about everywhere, second they often give you somewhere reasonably quiet and secluded to read, third they take care of at least one basic need so the amount of interruptions are cut down :-P.

But really folks, I Love reading (capital for a reason) and will never give it up. It comforts me, calms me down, and helps me think. It cheers me up and makes me feel alive and entertains me. Terry Pratchett (hey I quoted him earlier) wrote a book (series really) where the Dwarves consider all written text holy. They believe that by writing something you bring it into being. An interesting concept but I have to say I kind of feel words have some power. Not any particular words, but words in general.

anyway, enough of me blathering on, here is the article
