Words and the Word …

… Reading as a Spiritual Practice | The Russell Kirk Center(Hat tip, Dave Lull.)


What is so bad about spending all this time on computer screens? More interestingly, do people read less because they spend time on a computer? After all, right this moment, you are looking at a screen and reading a review of a book about reading. Wilson’s book is available on Kindle and those lectures I encouraged for viewing are on a screen. Yet, Wilson empathically says, “[W]e have to be aggressive in turning off the screens… After you remove the time wasted on technology, you may find more time available for reading. You can bring a book with you wherever you go.”

Books these days tend to have small type. I am an old man with cataracts that have yet to ripen. So I use my Kindle a lot.
