I hate reading online. However, I admit I do it more and more. I'm into speed reading blog posts the way you might scarf popcorn during a movie. And since discovering Mr K's Used Books, which is five minutes from home, I'm getting into real books again.
Books I've started over the past month or so include Awakening the Buddha Within, by Lama Surya Das; Grace and Grit, The Marriage of Sense and Soul, by Ken Wilber, and Moby Dick by Herman Melville.
Moby Dick was recommended during college, but since no teacher ever actually assigned it I never bothered. Melville's character sketches are odd and funny, and yeah, I know, it's a boy's book. We've just left Boston Harbor and there have already been fart jokes.
