Some of My Favorite Substacks 4-24-24
“Don’t forget - no one else sees the world the way you do, so no one else can tell the stories that you” Charles De Lint
Why is reading important? According to many studies, regular reading has been shown to increase one’s well-being and expand one’s vocabulary. In older individuals, it has been demonstrated to lessen the brain’s rate of decline and improve one’s emotional IQ by enhancing empathy.
Reading has been my favorite hobby since I was a curious toddler trying to understand words. My mother encouraged our reading habits as I grew up, which I benefitted greatly my whole life.
Touring as a performing artist gave me much free time to explore books from many different countries, giving me a more global perspective of my world. I have a deeper understanding of cultures and much more empathy for individuals. One of the aspects I embrace most about Substack Reads is the access to various writers and their subjects. Here are a few of some of those remarkable Reads I've discovered.

Does " reading " include audiobooks, Kindle, books & / or magazines online & other venues ?
The price of " progress ", etc.
I remember a classic Twilight Zone episode with the late great Burgess Meredith as a fanatical reader. His wife & his boss just didn't understand his appreciation of the printed page &, in fact, ridiculed him roundly for it. People wonder if it will become an anachronistic oddity, & my internal " jury " is still deliberating.....
Thank you Charlotte - I'm honoured to be included in such illustrious company.
