Book Loverby Pat Rooney
“Dad, you are going to love it.” That was a quote from my son, a year ago, urging me to pick up a thick biography on Lyndon Johnson titled The Path to Power. It is the first of Robert A. Caro’s three-volume set on the 36th President of the United States. Despite his urging, I was reluctant to start the book. The size of the book wasn’t an issue, but the fact that I never thought much of Johnson as a person or president. As often happens, I was hooked on the book immediately. The writing was excellent and the subject matter fascinating, not just about Johnson, but the Hill County of Texas and the characters caught up in the history. More importantly, I was reminded of the pleasure of reading, in general, no matter the subject. I believe we are all better off with a book to accompany us during the day. In this high-tech-world we find ourselves in, I am a believer that a book reading habit can provide a welcome respite from the screens.
The advantages of reading, while obvious to many, and probably those reading this article, have been obscured by the relentless push out of technological distractions and obligations in today’s world. Smart phones are everywhere, forever sucking our time away from other pursuits. And the wizards behind the phones are forever thinking of ways to make them more indispensable, more central to our lifestyle. Now these same wizards, if you ask them, acknowledge the perils and pitfalls of the phones and indeed seek to limit their screen time and that of their families. READ MORE
