Sounds good. I will read it.
I need to learn speed reading… I’m a slow reader.March 4, 2015 at 3:50 PM #783457scaredyclassicParticipantThis book blew me away.
I wish this were a book club and we could meet sun. Night at a bar to discuss.

Another Pigg and I were discussing this off-line a few months ago. When discussing who needed to be a part of it, you were at the top of the list. π
It would be so much fun to get together to discuss literature and have philosophical discussions about life and the universe!
Since so many are in other areas, we could do it here on Piggington, or meet in person and use a thread here to include those who can’t make it in person.

March 4, 2015 at 8:32 PM #783465FlyerInHiGuestI read a lot when I was young. I enjoyed it… but then reality happened.
When you read a book, you’re in a different world so it would be bad if I read too much. I wouldn’t spend my free time on my rentals, research, like I do now.
I need to learn to read super fast, skip pages, but sill get the general idea.

Yes, reading does put you in a different world. This is one of the best ways to gain perspective. It is research, even if it’s research about ways of thinking, or new ideas that you hadn’t thought of before. Reading opens your mind to a world of different perspectives, experiences, and sources of knowledge.
You should always make time for reading, Brian. It’s one of life’s greatest pleasures.
March 5, 2015 at 1:16 PM #783486FlyerInHiGuestI read a lot… but not novels. Novels put you in different worlds.

Agreed. I also read too few novels. That’s why we need a book club! π
