The wisdom of reading


I HAVE always been a person who reads a lot. Give me a free hour and you will find me reading. Even at the hairdresser's, I'll read through the hair-wash and the noise of the drier. 

Waiting for a doctor's appointment? You can be sure that I'll have a book or the day's newspaper with me. On days my daughter finishes school an hour later than me, I'll spend the intervening time at the town library.
