Suddenly I heard a Rapping
      at my Chamber Door…
   I was tuned in to reading for
    entertainment as a young
    child, before computers, kindles, and
    when there was only 3 channels on
    television.

   “There is nothing on TV to watch!” to
    which my Grandfather aptly
    replied, go read a book.

   This simple yet effective statement
    changed my perception of
    entertainment, as well as opened my
    mind to creativity and imagination.
History of Reading
   The history of reading dates back to the invention of
    writing during the 4th millennium BC.

   Although reading print text is now an important way
    for the general population to access information, this
    has not always been the case. With some
    exceptions, only a small percentage of the
    population in many countries was considered literate
    before the Industrial Revolution.

   Some of the pre-modern societies with generally
    high literacy rates included classical Athens and the
    Islamic Caliphate.

A Captured Imagination
   With reading, I found I was no longer
    confined to my room.

   I could ride a raft with Huck Finn, Journey
    to some unknown Universe or

   Go to a world of Sword and Sorcery


                     even to Hell and Back.
Summary
   When I was asked what 3 things would
    you want with you if you where stranded
    on a island.

   Medicine, Coffee, and a good Book.
