“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” ― Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut
August 9th is National Book Lovers day. What are you reading? You can see from my Books page I am reading at least two books. I have a biography, Einstein; a science book, The Quark and the Jaguar; and a Star Wars book. In addition, I will often browse books from some section of my library. Much of my library is now on Kindle or Nook, but there are enough printed books in my library to keep me entertained for at least this lifetime.
The title of this post is also the name of an organization dedicated to encouraging reading. “Reading is Fundamental is committed to a literate America by inspiring a passion for reading among all children …”. With access the internet, one can find a variety of books free from such organizations as the Project Gutenberg. Our Rotary Club is sponsoring a “Dolly Parton Imagination Library” project for our county.
Good Reads is a sort of social media hangout for readers. Friends can see which books you have read, which ones you are reading and which ones you want to read.
“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.” ― Groucho Marx
