Week Four -- What? No Reading??

Diane [no longer around] said Sep 8, 2006, 1:52 PM:
 

Okay, this other exercise for Week Four is a little over-the-top for me, so I have to adjust it a tiny bit. I am a LIBRARIAN, for gods' sake!

I'll take this exercise in the spirit I believe it was intended. She says that without distractions like newspapers, a train becomes a viewing gallery.  I get that. So for this week, I will put down the only work of fiction I have picked up in several months (starting it was something I was doing for my child-artist!), I won't read at lunch and I won't even read before bed this week. Instead I will listen to music (but not read the liner notes!) and meditate.

But at work I must help students with research projects, teach classes and read and respond to my boss' email and the reference chat I get from students, family and friends!

Have a great week of Reading Deprivation!
