really have reading lessons, where we just get to curl up in great armchairs that smell of pillows and grandfathers, with books of our choice, wearing socks and comfy clothes, with a free flow of hot chocolate, milk, juice or cold water
And we get to lose ourselves for an hour
There will be tissues for those reading tragedys or romances
There will be journals for those reading philosophy
There will be rooms for people to go in and talk about their books, or laugh about their books, or talk about their lives
After all, I'm quite sure one learns just as much from a novel, or even more, than one does when studying the domain, range and equation of a function, or a anatomy of a human body, or the rationale behind our economic markets
