    Conversation with Calliope- Why We Read Books

    Windjammer Cafe


    (Windjammer Cafe)

    JOE: Good morning Calliope.
    CALLIOPE: Good morning Joe. How's you column coming?
    JOE: Interesting you should ask.
    CALLIOPE: Well?
    JOE: You hit it on the head yesterday. My topic of addressing health and the environment exceeded the constraints of 500 words.
    CALLIOPE: So now what?
    JOE: I will put off the topic until I figure out what to do with it.
    CALLIOPE: And in the mean time?
    JOE: I woke up very early this morning wondering why people read books at all.
    CALLIOPE: Any specifics?
    JOE: I recalled Francis Bacon's quote about some books to be tasted, some to be swallowed and a few chewed and digested.
    CALLIOPE: Do you plan to pursue that topic in this week's column?
    JOE: I do.
    CALLIOPE: Sounds interesting.
    JOE: I'd better get to work on it. Talk with you tomorrow.
