Technology seams to permeate our lives. Some people accept that as fact and others don't. Of course, I write this on a computer and you read it on a computer as well. Last night I turned on pandora to listen to some music while grading and after being asked by Laura why I wasn't listening to my records I turned it off and put on some Willie Nelson. Granted a record player is still technology but I enjoyed being interrupted every once in a while to flip the record over or change it to a different one. I want to read more. I used to be much better about reading instead of watching television. I like reading better when I get the chance to do it because I can create worlds all of my own. Television in easy and mind numbing... not to mention expensive. I am tempted to say something about how when I grow up I won't have television, but, I realize that I am already there. Change must start now. I am plagued with an inability to change. I can look back over the last year and a half and see so many little changes that I have made to better my life. However, I also see the same old habits and tendencies as before. I haven't read Fahrenheit 451 since High School. I think that will be next after I finish H. G. Wells.

(You are a lot better at change than just about everybody else I know.)
I don't usually re-read books. I feel like I can't when there are so many I haven't read yet... But if you are going to re-read something, Fahrenheit 451 is definitely a good one.
There are just so many more changes to make!
I think that I agree. Sometimes I feel like I just need something old and familiar though. I haven't re-read Farenheit 451 so this will only be the second time. On the other hand I've probably read The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of The Rings enough times to make up for all the books that you haven't re-read...
