Books

I love to read books slowly - like a cow digesting the words in my 6 stomachs. It's fascinating to be a part of the fiction world. From the colonisation of Hong Kong through to builing cathedrals in gothic France, or being a Portugese pepper trader in India. But lets face it - this all takes time. I always intend to read more but often end up being sucked into watching a TV programme because I happen to wander into the room when someone has already begun watching it. It's like being a donkey led by a corrot on a stick. You go that extra step just to see what happens next. Is it actually possible to retain the ability to imagine if you play realistic playstation games or watch TV for hours of the day? I think not, correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure there aren't many people who play playstation and also read fiction for leisure.
I realise this sounds snobby but hello - books are cool and thety have no calories Mmmmm!
