Thank You Bloom

I finally found someone who qualified the way I read. Harold Bloom in How to Read and Why states: You can read merely to pass the time, or you can read with an overt urgency".

Other Interseting qutoes:

"One of the uses of reading is to prepare ourselves for change, and the final change alas is universal".

"Self-trust is not an endowment, but is the Second Birth of the mind, which cannot come without years of deep reading".

"Since Ideology, particularly in its shallower versions, is peculiarly destructive of the capacity to apprehend and appreciate irony, I suggest that the recovery of the ironic might be a principle for the restoration of reading"

"We read, frequently if unknowingly, in quest of a mind more original than our own".

10-12 inches of snow predicted for tonight. I didn't know nor-easter was here.
