As a scholar, I read a lot. It's my day job. It's what I do. My interests
go far beyond ancient Hebrew texts and their morphology. I enjoy many types
of imaginative literature and nonfiction in the arts, sciences and humanities,
ancient, classical and modern. Some of my reading is for entertainment and
probably will not appear here unless it has characteristics that recommend
it beyond its amusement value. Some things I read for informational purposes,
such as technical and software documentation that will also appear here
but occasionally. But I do a lot of reading about subjects I know little
about, just so that my mind stays active. In the visual, media-rich world
I live in, I need the abstract discipline of reading to force my poor, aging
neurons to be active rather than be passive receptors. Finally, the discipline
of writing reviews of my reading helps me to assimilate what I've read—and
to think outside the boundaries of my own little cognitive world.
