I'd like to play a video game based on one's reading ability and comprehension skills. Something fast paced and challenging where your moves are based on words flashing across the screen at lightning speed. If you can read and understand everything quickly, you'll make the right moves that will win the game. Then again, it may be too stressful and unlike the actual act of reading that is calming, relaxing and at times even meditative.
I just finished reading The Lost Art of Reading: Why books matter in a distracted time by David L. Ulin. You can easily finish the book in one sitting. It's only 151 small pages and I'll bet you could even read it while distracted. The book is a pleasure to read and the author raises many great thoughts about reading in today's world.
The library has a copy of the book. If you are an avid reader, it's a guaranteed like. If you wish you were a reader, you'll find it interesting. If you never read, just wait for the movie.
What is the best part of reading? It's different for each of us. Perhaps finishing a book you really enjoyed, selecting the next book to read, sharing books with others, or loading books on your reader.
With the beginning of a new semester, I'd like to wish everyone some quiet time to read, relax, and reflect.
Happy New Year!
