Joe Willie On The Shrimpbox: Read!

Our community is encouraging everyone to spend more time reading with a celebration called "The Big Read". Reading is one of the easiest things you can do. Find your material, sit down, relax and jump into a whole new dimension. Reading can entertain, educate and stimulate. You can explore new worlds, journey into old worlds, and examine your own world in fine detail.

Reading is probably the most important that we learn on this journey we're all embarked on called life. Everything we do revolves around reading. When asked by young folks about required skills to get into broadcasting or the entertainment industry I always tell them that reading is the most important. Read all that you can get your hands on!

Everyday I start the morning reading two or three newspapers. After that it's on to the Internet where I visit several websites. Along the way, I'll read magazines and other periodicals, and of course mail. For relaxation I try to read part of a novel as well. And of course, the best read of the day comes when I pick up the greatest book of all time, "The Holy Bible." Read! You might just learn something. It might even make you a better person.
