Life

I was just listening to an interview with Jim Morrison and he says he doesn't read anymore. ( when he was alive that is) He says that life just got too interesting... that he didn't need to read anymore. And I think that's true for me sometimes...not to put  down people. that just read  all the time... but to me reading for entertainment is boring.... Reading for knowledge is different though. But just reading to pass the time to me seems like a waste of time. There's so much more interesting things going on in this world than what's in a book. Now some really good writers have something to say but they are very few. I'm not talking about the people that just read at nighttime Or pick up a book here and there. I'm talking about people that read constantly all day long ...they have their nose stuffed into some novel about some fictional thing all day. I've seen people driving down the highway holdin a book up reading while they're driveing...how crazy is that.

I'm sure I do things that other people say r boring.  I watch a lot of documentaries but to me I'm gaining information I'm learning something there. Its not just to pass the time.

But hey people can do whatever they want to do with their lives if they want to waste away with their head stuck in a book that's their prerogative. I'm going to enjoy this crazy beautiful weird exciting interesting world that's been created around me.

  1. I can relate to your post. My wife LOVES to read book after book. She reads entire fiction series. I like to read stuff about how a movie was made or cool technology or philosophy.
