LIving a Thousand Lives

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
― George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

Shared experience across time and space is the essence of reading. In my 59 years I have lived many hundreds of lives vicariously through the books I have read. I have been a man, a woman, rich, poor, old, young, educated, uneducated, wise and foolish.

I have lived in Ancient Greek and Roman times, during the Middle Ages, the Renaissance (both Arabic and European), the 17th-18th-19th-20th-21st centuries and I have travelled the length and breadth of the universe.

This has all been accomplished without getting off the sofa!!

Long live reading!

May you all live a thousand lives.

Book Learning for Success

"Learning is not attained by chance. It must be sought for with ardor and attended to with diligence. "

Abigail Adams

Books provide us with a rich vein to mine for our learning endeavours. To have book learning you need the right books and an ardor for learning.

One of the key functions of education is to equip you to learn for yourself. Once that has been accomplished you can apply the principles to teach yourself anything.

The Internet has many freely available ebooks, podcasts and videos that will assist you on your life long learning adventure.

Go well
