Reading Rainbow was right!

bibliophilia.

OMG all I read is doom and gloom on current.
I am in serious trouble.
I used to always have 3 books going at once. Now I have 1 I am actually interested and 1 I am sorta reading. Both non-fiction. Living in reality.

Damn. Does this mean I am gonna spontaneously combust? Or will my brain just turn to mush and come out thru my nose or something... oh ewww!

"'This study suggests that readers do mental simulation when they comprehend a story,' Jeffrey Zacks, director of the university's dynamic cognition laboratory, told the Guardian newspaper."

Kinda cool, I guess. However, stories can be comprehended via more than one medium, or even combinations therein. It would be interesting to see how reading comprehension compares to audio comprehension (such as oral tradition) or visual comprehension (photography), or the combinations (film, TV, theater, comics/graphic novels, etc.). I'm a book nerd, so I like the idea, but I don't buy the suggestion.

eek i need to stop reading H.P. Lovecraft :-S

at one point i was a virgin with not a duke of a clue how to get it on , and then i sequestered myself in monkish isolation in a wilderness with only the kama sutra . i emerged a freakin sex ninja and my exploits have become the stuff of intense INTERPOL scrutiny .

lol

Glad I watched that show :-)

I love it, that's awesome! Books Rule!

I just finished reading Daniel Clowes' Ghost World and I felt totally deadpan and witty after ... now I know why

Seriously not a reader - which I guess is good cause half the books we're assigned are pretty gruesome.

It's the same thing with daydreams. But I guess that's kind of what books are.

Aww reading rainbow, you inspired me from the start =D

i love reading thomas harris.

This show was/is awesome.

I like reading pirate books... hmmm..

Breaking news: Twilight series causes sudden outbreak in biting incidents and a rise in glitter sales.

before I was unimatrix0 I was the forgotten middle child of Salinger's glass family and a long lost cousin of the brothers karimazov! I need to read more books!

What about just a good ole, self-devised imagination?

My, what big neural pathways you have.

I knew it!
Best kids show EVER!

"take a look!, its in a book!" "a reading rainbooooow?"
We miss you Lavar Burton!!!
lol.

Let's sing it! I'll start!

Butterfly in the sky!!!

I can fly twice as high!!!

Man i love that show

Book good. TV bad. But Tarzan want iPod.

If we do not study our history, wars included, 'we are doomed to repeat it'. So we must read/study what works and what does not. So as not to continually repeat our mistakes.
I loved this show as much as the kids. And reading really is fundamental. Reading to kids in the animated voices like on the show piques their interest. Getting young children enrolled in programs for kids at local libraries also helps them see others interested in the unlimmited world of reading. good site.

Geordi La Forge was right!

Then those history books about WWII in germany has to go!!!

And they said reading was for dorks. WHOS THE DORK NOW? Bwa-hahahaha-ahhahahaha......oh, wait...
