I found the link to this video while visiting Jan's blog. Meet Howard Engel, the writer who can't read. His is the sort of story referred to when we say, "Stranger things have happened," or, "Truth is stranger than fiction." I have said before that reading has much to do with writing. I know now that is not strictly true.

I came across The Gracious Girl blog today and enjoyed her post titled, "You are what you read...." I encourage you to pay The Gracious Girl a visit. Jane Austen said, "One who can write a long letter with ease can not write ill." It may also be said that one who reads good books can not write ill. When I read good books (truly good books that have stood the test of time and become part of our collective memory and conversation) I hope that in reading and savoring every word will I enjoy not only elevation of mind but that I will also enjoy the happy side effect of writing just a bit better and having more to contribute to the conversation of letters. Having said that, I shall now return to my book. Jane Eyre awaits my return!
