The Joy of Reading

I love to read. I have loved to read as log as I can remember. Reading is the entry into new worlds, new knowledge. It is a loss to our society that we spend far more time watching television than we do reading. Late last year I realized that I had fallen into that trap myself. I determined to begin reading more. This year I have lived up to that challenge. Not always at the level I desired, but I am doing well so far.

I also include audiobooks in my books read this year. Counting my audiobooks I have finished 45 books so far. How have I accomplished this? Primarily by cutting back on television. Let me encourage you to do the same. Find a fun novel, pick up that classic book, study a period of history. Enrich yourself in a way that you never will be able to with a television show.
