Comments on: Reading Versus Television: Which Is Better? http://www.hieropraxis.com/2010/01/reading-versus-television-which-is-better/ Truth, Beauty, and Christian Life Thu, 29 Jul 2010 17:39:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Ali http://www.hieropraxis.com/2010/01/reading-versus-television-which-is-better/comment-page-1/#comment-3119 Ali Tue, 19 Jan 2010 16:43:00 +0000 http://www.hieropraxis.com/?p=335#comment-3119 This is a great post, Holly. I, too, prefer to read over watching the television. I only watch television on Sunday nights with my friends. Once I graduated from law school, I started to read many of the classics that I never read--or read thoroughly--in school. I gave up reading junk several years ago. I always have one classic work going (I am now reading Anna Karenina), one work of theology or nonfiction, and an easier read for when I don't want to think as much. In addition, I try to devote some time every day, or almost every day, to some portion of reading the Bible. And my reading life is much richer and more rewarding now. I do get caught up in surfing the internet in my free time, and I fear that is a bad habit of mine. I need to work on giving up that habit. This is a great post, Holly.
