Who have you been this week?
March 23, 2009 9:00 am Why reading?, linksRead often. Read Regularly. Read Daily.
Reading is vital because it gives us a view onto a different world. Jesse Hines at Robust Writing shares a treatise on why reading enriches us. He makes the point that non-readers are trapped in their own world-view, with no chance at an alternative perspective. It’s an amazing image, and one that feels true for me.
This week I have been a bumbling publisher who makes bad decisions, and also a 72 year old, non-englsh speaking General, betrayed by a friend. Who have you been?

A series of critical care drugs (wild, I know) and an orphaned apprentice chef in Venice (1498). [The Book of Unholy Mischief).

@dragonfly: The Book of Unholy Mischief sounds interesting…

It wasn’t too bad. But I just finished Embers by Sandor Marai (72 year old general, I presume?) and thought it was much much better.
