View From the Bushes

Wow, for a while there I thought no one was reading my blog and then six comments in a single day. Who would have thought that reading would be the subject that would ignite the comment board in a firestorm of criticism. The last comment from my wife was particularly pointed in the way that only the truth can be. Having nothing else in particular that I wanted to write about, I guess reading for pleasure will be our subject for the day, or rather, my lack of reading and its direct relationship to my lack of moral fiber.

I wholeheartedly agree with Wil's suggestion that you read whenever (and wherever you can). In the past, my goal has been to never be without a book, in case the opportunity to read ever presented itself. And you know what happens? That works fine for a little while, but then eventually I get into the book and I read to the exclusion of everything else. I know there are those of you who read my blog who must assume that I am well nigh illiterate, but as you can see, my love of reading is so great that it's a weakness.

If I carry a book around all the time I end up doing nothing but reading, and while I can think of very few ways of spending my life preferable to this, once the money stopped coming in, I think the lifestyle would lose it's sheen. I guess I just need to exercise some moderation when I read. Anyway, before I sign-off I thought I'd post a link to an interesting freedom of press battle going on between a website and the 'developer' of a new game console. It's an interesting read.
