And yes, I do read. In several languages. My tastes are eclectic.... ranging from the original Chaucer and Sheakespeare in Old English to present-time Robert Ludlum's thrillers (unfortunately is passed away some years ago and the crap they now publish underhis name is just that: CRAP).
I also like the old classics like The Aeneid, The Illiad (Homer and Horatio). Mark Twain's works, George Sand's, Lao Tse's, Neruda, Nervo, Hemingway, Blazac... and miryad others. I personally own a 5000-volume library with books in English, Spanish, Portugese, Italian, French. As well as several first editions. And a lot of technical books mostly on computer science and netwok security.
If that makes me a reader, then I am a reader. I also read boxtops, 3 daily papers, countless magazines, blogs, crappy forums, your shit's neck tag, etc.
Why? Because good writing is what nutures the mind just as music nutures the soul and love nutures the heart.
