Yesterday was a bit rubbish - didn't post anything. Although I do now know more about a BR1600CD than I did.
Decided I'd better get back to doing some reading. Tom Wright is usually good.
Read 2 pages and fell asleep. Tried again. Sleep again. Not that there's anything wrong with the eminent New Testament scholar (and brilliantly named) N.T. Wright - I'm actually very fond of him: it's just that I'd had a large lunch to say goodbye to our local Methodist minister. At a pub, of course.
I do find reading so boring. Especially when there are no pictures. Especially when there are no breaks in the text. It's just such a slow process.
It's not that I don't do much reading - in fact I do a lot. It's just that I'm conditioned to read small chunks of text, with control over which small chunk I read next. That's how text is on the internet. The whole modernist linearity of a 'book' is what gets me down. Even a good book.
I should say that I have read the Bible cover to cover. But in the CofE we have a lectionary which splits it up into small, palatable chunks. Which is how I like to read anyway. So instead of blaming technology for my lack of ability to read long chapters, I've decided it's the church's fault really.
Shed arrives tomorrow!
I want to see pictures of your shed first thing! I bet once it is installed and you get a nice chair in place and make it homely you will find reading less boring as well once in there.
