Hi all,
Some of you know that apart from an obsessive reader
[that's why i love being in 4-MA as I feel I am among
friends] - but do you get strange looks at dinner-parties
when you talk about about books? I do, so it was with great
comfort to read in New Scientist this week about what reading
a lot of fiction does to the readers mind, compared to the
non-reader or the reader of non-fiction.
I wrote about it at January Magazine - and did the
test and yes, when my wife tried, she realised that I had
been right all the time, I am a much better judge of
character, read signals faster and more accuratly than her
[as she reads very little] anyway -

Try the test for yourself and try it with a
non-fiction reader
