Spiral BookshelfHave you thought,

What Separates Intelligent Thoughtful Homeowners From Others?

I know this answer well. In high end homes they have libraries. In low end homes access to books, magazines, on line tools for information. The answer is they all are

     READERS.

I mean profuse readers. Books, magazines, web sites domestic and international, blog readers, chat groups, and now with iPads and tablet computers even eReaders. Why I say they are thoughtful cause they have a command of the language, vocabulary and are DISCIPLINED to learn from others. Well spoken, respectful, courteous of others, their MINDS have structure to them. They do not shoot from the hip, they do not go with the latest fads or trends without thought, they are critical thinkers.

If YOU want to be a person of CULTURE and refined in society READ MORE, read everything, even differing points of view, read backs of cereal boxes, read web accounts of stories and ANALYSIS, non fiction and fiction. BOOKS and reading material of all sorts takes you to places, builds vocabulary and increases the possibilities for your creativity and imagination.

READING IS FUNDAMENTAL yes, but more important SETS YOU APART in the world from the masses.

Growing and learning are such important opportunities for us. I have found if I am willing to listen, I will also learn. But reading is the way to unlock our learning. Thanks Gary.

An interesting bit of information was pointed out recently where wealth was measured by the number of books you owned.  This concept was from the perceptions in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries whether you knew how to read or not.  It may have even been read in one of your posts Gary.  Thank you for encouraging me to pick one up (and read it) a little more frequently.

A man after my own heart!!  I counted - I have 32 bookcases in my house but it's not nearly enough - I'm packing books in boxes for the day I can get built-in bookcases built.

Funny - at open houses I watch customers searching from room to room - all atwitter when they can't find a TV.  I realized I can relate to the feeling - when I'm in a house or a condo and discover there's not a book to be found it almost makes me feel like I can't breathe.

PS - love that you mentioned the backs of cereal boxes - any voracious (no pun intended!!) reader can relate!!
