I am of two minds regarding what I read – I suppose I'm of many minds but for this post I'll limit it to two.
I am torn between reading for
entertainment and reading for knowledge acquisition. And this isn't a
new struggle for me; I've made many vows over the years to emphasize the latter in
order to better myself.
But there is my quandary. I absolutely enjoy
reading for entertainment; it is the first thing I choose when I have
free time. There is value in reading for entertainment only because
after a long day at work one just wants to rest the brain and indulge
in what is pleasurable and not “have-to's”. One needs to do fun things, too, to stay balanced.
But on the other side there is so much
benefit of knowing the why's and how's. I have many books on our
current situation with government and more are published each month.
I would like a thorough understanding of money, banking, investments,
taxes, and what it all means. I love history and there is so much of
it that isn't taught or discussed.
I don't have answers. I just flip flop and read what I'm in the mood for at the time.
Squirrel!
Ooohhh, March is very good for movies.
Veronica Mars (Squee!!!) and Divergent (Woot!). And April has Captain
America. Just happy.
Nuttin' on TV tonight I think so I will probably hang with the boys and read. Steve has shooting.
Much love,
