Reading is fun.
That sentence is an example of why I am not a writer. Below is a great quote from author Ann
Patchett about why reading is awesome.
“… Reading
fiction is important. It is a vital means of imagining a life other than our
own, which in turn makes us more empathetic beings. Following complex story
lines stretches our brains beyond the 140 characters of sound-bite thinking,
and staying within the world of a novel gives us the ability to be quiet and
alone, two skills that are disappearing faster than the polar icecaps.”
I love
this quote. Read it twice.
