Reading

Updated: 7 May 2007

"Altogether I think that we should read only books that bite and sting us. If a book we are reading does not shake us awake like a blow on the skull, why bother reading it in the first place? So that it can 'make us happy,' as you put it? Good God, we'd be just as happy if we had no books at all. What we need are books that hit us like the most painful misfortune, that make us feel as though we had been banished to the woods. A book must be an axe for the frozen sea within us." — Kafka

Never read books just to pass the time.
Read books because there is something in the book you WANT.

Here is what I'm reading these days. I'd love to talk about these books. Send me an email and let's talk about books.
