Medusa Wrote:oh god, so is my husband. He and my son will argue over what to watch and they'll ask me which one. I'll just look up from my book and go "huh?" I'm much happier reading then watching TV. I've been like that ever since I was young and got the whole Nancy Drew series, reading under the bed covers at night with a flashlite. How many others here used to do that?
Medusa, you are so right! I did the same thing. Loved Nancy Drew and Cherry Ames, Student Nurse, who also solved crimes. I never understood how those little towns had so many mysteries to investigate.
I think that's what makes this board special and interesting. We're readers. Yes, we like movies, theater and television, but first and foremost, for the majority of us, a book beats anything for grand entertainment.
Reading is freedom.
The mind soars, no earthly cares,
no limitations.
A Maggers Haiku, 2005
Years ago my mother used to say to me... "In this world, Elwood, you can be oh so smart or oh so pleasant."
Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.
You may quote me.
