A habit I had over the years was when I went on vacation is that I would buy a dozen magazines. My rule was to find magazines about things that I had no interest in. This was not hard since there are so many different magazines.
Vacations and magazines were really for me "a tired man looking for something to read". That is why finding something that I had no interest in worked. It was new. It was something I had not looked at before? It did the work for me. It held my interest
For years I included in my stack of magazines one on Photography. Today I find that Kathy really likes Photography. I will no longer be able to pick those magazines. They no longer qualify. Today since she really likes it. I am now interested in learning more and being able to share with her.
Of course she just shared one of her recent creations with me. This collection of photo's from our trip to the New Mexico State Fair last Saturday are spectacular.
Magaiznes are enjoyable but books seem to have more to say.
Books are a medium because they are neither rare or well done
quote by Gore Vidal
I am not sure why I bothered t o quote Gore Vidal. I have read some of his work and I can tell you that his work is for sure neither rare or well done. Likewise it is far from a medium for anything. 
Good Books are great. Notice the black and white picture. Darkness is surrounded by light while reading. The darkness shows thought.
Did I mention that this was me a few years back in this picture.
Reading about Reading and about other books works
It is an anwer to the need:
'Rather talk to the author than read"
