It was such a treat to listen to our State Senator Judith Zaffirini speak at our librarian’s meeting this year. As a firm believer in reading and technology, she pulled out her iPhone, Kindle and iPad exemplifying that there is never a good excuse not to be reading. What really struck a cord with me though, was when she said that the question she was asked quite frequently but most offended by was, “How do you have time to read?” To which her response was along the lines of ~ “How can you not have time to read? How can you be so self-absorbed and self-indulgent that you don’t have time to know and want to learn about what others think.”
