The best kept secret of this Wednesday is that the book learning never ends with us.
Appropriate to World Book Day, no? Double that for William Shakespeare’s birthday.
Some of us go back to school.
Some of us read for pleasure.
Some of us read to keep current on new surgical advances or approaches for the surgeries we do.
Some of us read to keep current on current events.
Some of us read to justify the journal price.
Some of us read to keep up our certifications.
Some of us read ourselves to sleep.
Hi, it’s me. I’m one of the us.
I know, you’re so shocked.
But it is not only me. I, along with others, do read for all of those reasons.
And more.
One of my favorite tee shirts says it best “A day without reading is like… never mind, I have no idea.”
Keep reading.
Keep being intellectual curious.
Even if it is just the back of a box of cereal.
The books are counting on us.
After all, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women are merely players.”
As You Like It by William Shakespeare
