books are awesome!

I came across this bible quote:

“My son, beware of anything beyond these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh. The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.”

Ecclesiastes 12:12-13

I'm sorry but books are awesome!  the more the better.  poetry, novels, non-fiction, comic books, anything.  i read a poul anderson book a long time ago called war of the gods and something happened, i traveled inside the book, while i was just sitting in my room.  the words were so juicy, i felt like panting.  i was encapsulated and inspired!  and to think of all the work that went into it... all the research, imagination, talent, and artistry.

What you aim at aims back at you

The things we do and the things we are subjected to everyday is 

acting on us and molding us.  The force of life will be applied to whatever 

you cling to, whatever you identify with, good or bad, chaotic or orderly.  

Which is to say, if you make yourself into a monster, a monster 

will make itself out of you.
