what reading does to you

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

I got 27 and I'm a non-reader (but I read a lot online). Fun test
though, thanks for showing it.
