Mr. Harper Faulkner encouraged us, as bloggers, 1) to re-blog and 2) to read. I am obeying his command by re-blogging his post on why he reads. It expresses far better than I can the joy and pleasure of reading and why, as he puts it, “You are not entitled to not read.”
Harrumph!

Waaahhhh – the comments on that site were closed. I LOVE READING! I wake up extra early to read… I love going to jury duty or the DMV b/c I can READ…I like to read btwn readings… Did I mention I love reading?
Even though HF’s comments are now closed, mine are open and appreciative of everyone’s desire to read.
This was definitely a great post. Then again, they always are from Harper. He has a way with words and a wit that just won’t quit. (Sorry, but I couldn’t avoid tossing in a rhyme.)
I don’t demur: I concur.
Ooh, you’re smooth. Just like that Harper.
