Reading Quote
So I was reading my Entertainment Weekly which comes every, um, week and I read that this famous author, David Foster Wallace, had died. He suffered from severe depression and reportedly went off his medication because of side effects and committed suicide.
Now, admittedly, my nightstand has been rather bare over the past few years with the exception of the occasional Harry Potter book or Stephen King novel and so I had no idea who David Foster Wallace was. But I checked out some of his articles online and enjoyed what I read and so I went to the library and got Infinite Jest. Wow. Nearly a thousand pages but I am going to give it a try and so if you don’t see for a few days, call the paramedics. I am trapped under a hardcover novel.
And that brings us to this week’s quote:
Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
~ Joseph Addison ~
