If there is one way apart from excessive hours spent in front of a VDU that is guaranteed to maintain a lifetime of myopia it is reading. On this page I intend not only to wax about my thoughts about this much neglected activity but to give a single digit line summary/ review of a book that I have read recently, or a mini-commentary on one in whose bowels I am currently residing. For me, books are a necessity of life, without them I would not be a poorer person but I would not be alive, for within them lies the key to so many things.

Treat books not merely as a repository of words or ideas or emotions for they are a great deal more; look at the cover, feel the texture, breathe in the aroma of a well worn book which has been loved or hated by others before you. Reading is an experience which can utilise so many of your senses.....

I hope to have this page in some semblance of order within the near future but at the moment I am swamped by texts which I would rather not have in my possession. My Personal Choice of reading matter is glaring at me, affronted at my neglect of them.


Happy Reading!!!
