I was just wondering, because the older I get, the less compelling I find most TV fare and most films compared to good reading. Reading seems more involving somehow than passively sitting in front of a screen. Even as a social activity, I'd far rather read to someone or have them read to me than watch TV or a film with them (although that can be fun once in a while). > --- In [email protected], "authfriend" <jstein@> wrote: > > > > --- In [email protected], "whynotnow7" <whynotnow7@> wrote: > > > > > > I haven't figured > > > out why people seem to be obsessed with reading books.
