A truly impressive library there Stoner 8)
And just for the record, I do not of course think that there’s anything wrong with ‘reading’, it’s just not for me.
And whilst undoubtedly very enjoyable for many people, I tend to consider it somewhat unproductive. Although I have to confess to having an insatiable hunger for information, hence my apparent addiction to news and current affairs.
BTW, all this reminds me of an incident many years ago when I was engaged in a heated ‘discussion’ with a ranting member of the Socialist Workers Party. Exsasperated by his attempts to preach revolution to me, and wanting to have a snidey dig at his ‘middle-classness’, I informed that I had learnt my politics not by going to the library and ‘reading books’, but had instead learnt my politics by ‘reading my pay-slips’.
To be fair to the trot, he did see the funny side of my dig and in fact laughed admitting that he thought that it was an excellent statement. Although in essence my comment was true.
