Mel Bosworth, On Reading

"The act of reading is like sucking up the universe through a straw. It's not unlike the act of living, although the process is expedited to give your years more bang for their buck."

{Mel Bosworth is the author of When the Cats Razzed the Chickens (Folded Word Press, 2009) and Grease Stains, Kismet, and Maternal Wisdom (Aqueous Books, 2010). Visit him here for more information.}
