My friend Art is an avid reader. He truly enjoys a good book. My financial controller likes to read. A lot of people like to read. For those, like me, that do not read for pleasure, I wonder how people have the time. Oh, I know that you read awhile and then go back to the book when you have a few minutes. The problem with that is that I forget what the book is about by the time I get back to it. That’s why I like history. It usually doesn’t change and all I’m looking for are facts.
While talking to Art gthis week, he said that all the visuals you get on TV and computers do not entertain as much as a really good book. We compared reading to the old days of radio. There were programs that just were not the same when television versions came out. The Lone Ranger didn’t look like I had imagined him.
Truth is, our imagination is greater than any image that Hollywood can conjure up. I just need to spend more time reading for fun.
Does reading the comics in the newspaper count?
