Happy Easter and reading

Hope Everyone had a terrific Easter.

One of the things I never used to do was read books. I never even read any books in school, I couldn't even read the Cliff Notes. I just could not justify sitting down for any length of time to read a book. Now don't get me wrong, I do read magazines, newspapers, and technical articles. I just could not concentrate enough to read a long book.
About a year ago Alicia gave me a book to read and told me that I would like the story so I read it and I did like the book. I think it was called Babylon. Now since I've been flying around a lot Alicia and O have given me a few books to read and I've liked them. It seems like I am a captured soul on an airplane with nothing to do but sit for hours, so I have time to blow.

On this last trip to Boston I read a book Alicia gave me titled "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. I really liked this book. It was about a father and his small son who travel somewhat empty roads in search of safety after I think a nuclear war. The book brings together the strong bond between the father and son and the lessons the father teaches the boy in order to survive. The book also makes one realize that our lives today are made very simple with todays technology and that we have lost track of the simple things in life that are necessary to survive.
I found the following two quotes from the book very interesting. "You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget" and "How does the never to be differ from what never was".

And so time is important some times. Jorge
