My west coast brother informed me, early today, that today is "Everything You Do is Right Day." Church in the morning counted as right, at least in my mind, and after lunch I spent a good part of the afternoon reading. It was a rainy, blustery, cold day, so sitting in a warm room reading seemed like a good idea. It felt right. I wish I could say that I read only intellectually stimulating non-fiction or great classical literature but the truth of the matter is I really like a good mystery or police procedural or well written novel about interesting people. I do not like blood and gore. Lately I've gotten hooked on the novels of Elin Hilderbrand. She is, I think, an extremely good writer. Coupled with this love of reading is the convenience I've found in downloading library books onto my tablet. Check out, read, return, all with just the click of a few buttons. Very nice, but I just finished reading two articles indicating that (at any age) it is much better for your brain if you read actual books, rather than books on a screen. So now, I guess, I need to go to the library (less than a mile away) and check out some real books. I will do that someday soon. Meanwhile, don't worry, reading something short, like for instance this blog, on your phone, won't hurt you.
