Reading - a veritable Magic Carpet
Before I had even got out of bed this morning I had travelled to Africa (20 Chickens for a Saddle), Croatia (Finding O'Dwyer) and colonial New England (The Americans: The Colonial Experience). I don't even think the Space Shuttle could cover that distance so quickly.
Reading is a truly wonderful journey into the imagination, the past, present and future. In a book you can be married/single, black/white, male/female, Muslim/Christian, Rich/poor without even going out of the house.
Ever since I cut my teeth on Janet and John in the early 1960's, I have been an avid reader.
There is nothing like it.
Have a good day.

Hey Dr Kelp,since your blog appeared right in front of me at StartXChange, I can't help but post a comment!
Blogs are great. I wouldn't normally scroll down a web page, but with blogs I usually do!
