I have never been much of a reader. I have always been of the mindset of why read when you can watch television. It is like a picture book that talks. Lately though, as I write more I am beginning to realize that in order to master the written word, it is most beneficial for me to read. This way I can get a sense of style, etc of all that is out there. It is a bit like cavemen examining their brethrens' drawings. How do you think pictures of the buffalo got so advanced so quickly?
For those that are interested I am currently reading 'Memoir from AntProof Case' by Mark Helprin. To sum it up in one sentence, It is about how one man's hatred of coffee shaped his life. Check it out.
