Too Much Reading Can Cause Brain Damage

I've decided to give up reading for one whole year. No more trips to Columbia Books, no Barnes and Noble giftcards, no Amazon.com, nothing, nada, niente.

Some people decide to quit watching TV for the year to devote more time to reading, but I say, what's wrong with doing the opposite? I've spent so much time reading and writing, over the course of my whole life really, that I've missed entire seasons of shows like "Name That Fruit", or "Sell Your Granny"

So enough is enough I say! I've spent too many hours rotting my brain with books like Charlotte Gray, or Suite Francaise. Bring on the "Flavors of Love 17", and "How to Catch a Kitten Snatcher". Plus think of all the money I'll save on gas by staying home and on my tush all day long! Not to mention the eye strain I'll save from reading all that tiny print, and scribbling away on my laptop all day long.

So for the next 365 days, if you need me, I will be on the couch.

Oh, and Happy April Fool's Day everyone
