Like the guy in The Matrix who had looked at the scrolling symbols for so long he only saw places, people and objects, the text in books should become transparent, and you should only see the scenes and the action described in the book when you close your eyes. That's the power of books: they fill your head with fantastic ideas, breathtaking vistas, exciting plots and interesting characters, not text.
Too much reading? Hell no. Just this weekend, I binged on books from early Saturday morning to Sunday evening, which allowed me to complete 3 great books. I only put down the 4th because I really had to catch some sleep to have a chance of waking up on time for work this morning, but it was a heartbreaker let me tell you  |
Yeah, what Fastolfe said.
