to answer your question, yes I read all the time, I have loads of books to get trhough atm, just bought 2 yesterday  |
I guess in this age of information technology it is possible to gain wisdom and knowledge without the need to ever pick up a book, but the biggest loss in never reading is the exercise of your mind, spirit and imagination through the act of reading.
Watching a film adaptation of a book may give you the story, but the reading of it brings another dimension since it is enacted within your mind and somehow has a more profound and lasting impact on the psyche. The way an idea is expressed in literature and poetry can often be a revelation, offering a new way of looking at something.
