What about reading? Another thing that makes life worth while. I guess you could also say that if you're really reading, reading and writing are the same thing.
This is the first time I read your blog. Looking forward to 1001.
Reading, certainly, is a great pleasure in life. If not one of the greatest. But it ruined the symmetry of my 3-item list. The real list of pleasures that make my life worth living is much longer. I think I am happier, on average, than Cyril Connolly.
I see them as a positive feedback loop. Reading makes me want to write more, and enough writing makes me realise I should stop and read up more before continuing.
What I was thinking was the act of interpretation. When I read something, I need to give meaning to the text by interpreting it, which in itself is like re-writing in your mind what you are reading. But I also agree with you, the more I read, the more I want to write because what I read gives me new ideas.
It’s a ‘kilometer stone’ … congratulations
I wish I had thought of this.
Looking forward to more! Keep it up!
The Gioias are good and interesting writers!
