On Reading
“The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can’t read.” - Mark Twain
Who doesn’t have some classics on the bookshelf that they intend to read … someday. I think we all do. Is reading one of those things we, as a society, have pushed to the back of our priorities. Perhaps that is too much of a stretch, and we really haven’t pushed reading to the back. But sometimes buckling down and reading a good book - a classic – takes a decision and commitment. Will it be CS Lewis, or Steinbeck? Will it be Faulkner or Melville? Perhaps tomorrow it will be Thoreau.What ever it is, enjoy, and remember that great literature can change the face of society.
