yes it's true i've read all that in books when i was younger but books are like philosophy in Calllicles mouth (Plato: Gorgias) they are for young people...
Ahhh, so you don't really want to burn all the books? They are still useful for the young?
None of us "book-lovers" are arguing that books are preferable to actually living and experiencing and thinking... but they make available to us the thoughts and experiences and discoveries of others, now and in the past, and thereby enrich our own lives and thoughts. They're fuel for our inner fires. They nourish. They illuminate. They inspire. They smell good. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
And some of those books, read when young, will take on a whole new resonance when read again in age.
(Wish I'd known wisdom was coming at 33... I'd have tried to hang on to some it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/disagree.gif" alt="" /> )
