Rant time….
One thing that really grates my nerves is when I hear
someone say, “Oh I don’t read.” Now, when we were all kids, forced to read
standard issue school approved text, reading sucked. I get that. Many people
were turned off by it. Read to get through school requirements and then never
have to touch a book again, right? Wrong. Reading is not something to dread. Reading
takes you into the farthest depths of your imagination. Reading unlocks doors, it
breathes life into new people, and allows you to escape from the doldrums of
reality, if only for a short while.
When I hear people say they don’t read, it makes me sad.
Because reading isn’t a thing to dread.
There is a book out there for you. There is a story that will capture
your imagination. If you sit and watch TV all the time, you’re missing out. All
of those stories are out there in some form in a book.
And you know what? The
stories in books are far better than the ones you see on the big or small
screen.
So, there’s my little rant. Don’t be one of those people who
say, “I don’t read.” Pick up a book. Do it.
Do it now!!!
Rant over.
