Reading for 70 years....<br />
Grandpa Burl’s office walls were<br />
lined with secrets.<br />
Well okay, they were<br />
lined with books, but<br />
I was spellbound by<br />
the width and height<br />
of knowledge encircling the<br />
room. “Grandpa,” I asked. “Will<br />
I know everything when I get to<br />
heaven?”<br />
I didn’t want to wait that long.<br />
At home, a bookshelf ran down<br />
the long wall of my bedroom. It<br />
held nothing as sophisticated as<br />
his, but once in awhile I’d borrow<br />
one of Grandpa’s books. I was<br />
too young for theology, but reading<br />
Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations<br />
made me feel smart.<br />
Today, my office walls are lined<br />
with theology, fantasy, mystery<br />
and psychology. Very few books<br />
have I read more than once.<br />
Some, I’ve barely opened. The<br />
one thing I read every single day<br />
