                    You can sit before an orchestra where the music will thrill you to passion and for a while your spirit will soar. You can turn the radio on in your car and the music will carry you away but there is nothing like reading. Reading will not only transport you to another place and time reading will change the circumstances of your life forever. Reading will carry you to the future where you will see possibilities and reading will allow you to visit the past where you will see potential.

Music provides a temporary high for your relief from your surroundings whereas reading can lead you to a permanent relief from everything around you. Reading can change your reality transforming you into a new person. You can read one paragraph and say "Why not?" or "Of course!" You can read one book and say "I never thought of that!" and read a second book and say "If only I had known this before..." You can see one word on the page and say to yourself "That can be me." "I have possibilities in my life." Once you begin reading in earnest you will realize that you can learn equally from reading about how a man failed in his life and as well as how a man succeeded in his life. In fact learning how a person failed is a good road map for success, because failure always provides you with an alternative point of view.

Think of the man who decided to construct the street light, or to design the fire hydrant, or to design the light bulb. Where did these ideas come from; what was the source of their inspiration? One source of these inventions was reading. Reading allows for the accumulation of information. When this information is assimilated in the human brain an idea is born. One invention sparks another invention that sparks another great idea until finally man is raised to an enhanced state of existence. Reading provides the recipe for originality.

A man says to himself there must be a better way. He goes to a library trying to find that better way. He reads and reads and reads assimilating information looking for that better way. If he does not find that better way in the books he has read, he has still learned something. He has learned that he has to invent the better way. This time he begins to read books looking for ideas to help him as he invents. In the book Father Hunt, by Rex Stout (1886-1975), who wrote over 70 detective novels, the character, Nero Wolfe, makes a brilliant point that I will never forget regarding how an idea is born. Rex Stout wrote Father Hunt in 1968. I read the book in 1976 and I still remember Nero Wolfe's preoccupation of how his sidekick, Archie Goodman, came up with the idea of a silver abacus being owned by Paul Revere. Archie Goodman told Nero Wolfe that he used the possible existence of a silver abacus owned by Paul Revere to gain an interview with a wealthy businessman. Paul Revere never owned a silver abacus but the possibilities of such an item triggered the imagination that allowed for the interview.

During the publication of this book I spoke to three men each man made a negative comment regarding reading. One man said that no one would read each individual name on the list in the book; the second man said no one would purchase the books people were too busy worrying about money to read or to purchase a book. In hard times no one buys books. What American woman would be interested in what I had to say to purchase a book? The third man said some of the books were too large that no woman would take the time to read the books. He said the number of page in each book would immediately turn women off. No women or man would purchase a book consisting of four hundred to five hundred pages. Needless to say I was disheartened for a second. Then I sat and thought about their comments. Their words were not complimentary to women or to people in general. There is nothing to life during hard times but meat and potatoes. Grayness had descended on the earth. Life was so brutal that reading could be ignored. I decided to persevere. These men had to be wrong. I continue to believe that reading regardless of the number of pages in a book is seen as an activity that enriches the soul and enlightens the mind leading men and women to greater and greater heights and inventions. The fate of America will be decided by how well we nourishment our minds and assimilate information to continue our growth. I shall continue to believe that people will see that reading leads to a better life.

When you read you can learn to eat healthy and to better manage your money and life. Reading allows you to quickly prepare for a dinner party or help you impress a friend. When you read you are open to adventure and confidence bathes your spirit. Reading is the commencement of light and the cessation of darkness. Reading is the activity that puts the soul to take flight. If you desire a change in the status and wealth of your life, then reading is an activity that you can ill afford not to do.
