I want to trumpet my admiration <br />for people reading thick, heavy books. <br />They live in a slower world, <br />rooted like great trees, <br />sitting there unmoving <br />while the rest of us go by. <br />We need people like that, <br />landmarks in our comings and goings <br />so at least we can still have <br />some idea where we are.<br /><br />Max Reif<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/06aug-in-praise-of-the-readers-of-long-books/
