Dan Brown? I read Harlequin romanances. I don't watch TV, except for the news. I know reading is more relaxing, more intense, than TV (except for the Cubs). I always try and read the book before I see the movie. A Beautiful Mind was the biggest disappointment. Wonderful, rich book, simplistic movie. I know of no movie that is better than its book.
I am very embarassed by what I read; hence I love my kindle. No one knows. I figure I read cases and the Internal Revenue Code all day long - I need to imurse myself in some excapist literature (if you can call it that). I have read other things - political commentary (made me more upset), murder mysteries.
I think all reading is good, because I assume everyone can read at the same level. If I couldn't read past a 6th grade level, but read romance novels, I think Mark Twain's comment is correct. But if you can (and have) read great literature, what is the harm in takin' a little break?
