"The reading of all good books is like conversation with the finest (people) of the past centuries." Descartes
Isn't it a gift that reading can allow us to be in conversation with different minds, ideas, and manners of expression that are different from our own? One of the greatest gifts we can so easily give ourselves is a daily practice of reading. Of course, what we feed our mind will matter, and if we spend a little time each day, intentionally actively reading (applying, asking, arguing with the text), what a delightful and edifying conversation we have had!
