I LOVE TO READ
Reading can bring a whole new world a person—that movies, video games, and other activities cannot.
I love to read. Give me a good book, and a few quiet hours and I will be delighted. I love to read biographies, fiction, and history. I enjoy “how to” books, nature, travel and politics.
When I read, I can go to places I have never gone before. I can learn from great statesmen, daring explorers, thoughtful theologians and brilliant scientists. I also enjoy children’s books, and reading to children.
When I read a passage of interest, I want to share it with others . . . “Listen to this . . .” I will say, and then start reading out loud. Sometimes Beth and I will read a book together out loud. I think I get even more out of a book I read with someone else. On occasion, I have been part of a book discussion group. Several folks select a book, we read a chapter or so, and then meet to discuss what we have read.
