To pastime or to experience...

I watched "Sense and sensibility" once more. Isn't it fascinating that I spent my youth reading romantic novels about impossible love, good and evil, richness and poverty in all kinds of historical English environments? I think it is.

I remember reading lot's of criminal novels too. Therefor I don't understand people who still read such things. To watch them of TV is OK, but to spend time reading them?

I remember when I started to read classical novels written by world famous writers. Someone made me look stupid. I realized I wasn't "educated" enough, so I spent years reading old stuff.

Since I did spend my youth reading, I'm a bit skeptical about spending too much reading. Maybe it depends on the options.

Some people assume I spend to much time watching TV when being unemployed. How funny. As a matter of fact I've been spending less time watching TV, because I've not been tired after work. Now I watch because I'm bored. Like the rest of the world, I assume.
