Reading

I really like to read. Unfortunately, I am a slow reader, I have a lot of diverse things I want to read and I don't have as much time to read as I would like. That combination means I have a big stack of books that are waiting to be read and new ones that get added to it all the time.

I've been reviewing an information package on someone I am going to interview tomorrow to potentially be my new boss (I know it is sort of a strange). In his profile he made two really interesting comments about reading that I think are worth taking note of:

1. Reading is not life. Just because you read something does not mean you lived it.
2. Reading does not make us mature. Information is not equal to transformation. What a person has read (and not read) gives us and idea about what matters to them, but it is not a measure of their heart and soul.
