Read C. S. Lewis, it's Intulectual [Unlike my Spelling & Grammar]]

[No grammatical or spelling changes have been made by the EDITORS, since apparently this fellow presumes to know 'intellectual' from 'non-intellectual'. Henceforth: Sic Semper Tyrannus Editorus; yessir, yessir, ye do no wrongs. Also The Editors Found this a great time to advertise.]

Haloo, as the jagullar cries out from the treetops, haloo to all. It is I, the angry Irishman, the narcissist, the harbinger of doom, and what ever else my own editor will call me. THat was sarcasm, I really like my editor. (Please, have mercy!)

But enough intros, this is far too important of a subject to just get lost in introduction. I am speaking of reading. No, not like you are now, reading blogs and news casts. I am talking about good, ole' fashion books. I will recommend some, but right now I'm presenting the argument why you need to read more than you are. This means YOU! If you read one book in six months, unless it's the Bible or Gysler's theology books, you are in sad shape. Okay, Lord of the Rings might take almost six if you're a slow reader. Might I recommend a speed reading course? Oh, too late, I just did. Speed reading is essential to reading all the good stuff you can before you die.

But why? Why read? "I watch the news, I know what's going on, why do I need Peter Pan or whatever?" If you read my blog, "Stop the presses," you know my opinion of the news. Aside from that, you, my friend, and I, are morons. Yes we are. And the only way to cure our ignorance and lack of depth is to add depth and knowledge to us. Television won't cut it, especially nowadays. How do you think C. S. Lewis became the genius he was? It wasn't school, he admits that in, "Surprised by Joy." He hated school, ironically. From birth, he was surrounded by room after room filled with books, books, and more books, and he devoured them, learning from great minds, making his greater than theirs by combining them to his own brain! If you have kids and they can read, bye books, not only Dr. Seuss, but Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Plato, Homer, R. A. Lafferty, William Langland, and any other clean, wholesome authors and books you can get a hold of. If they can't read, read to them, they understand a lot more than they can speak. Treating children like their dumb will make them dumb, treat them like the men and women you want them to turn out as, and punish them if they are defiant! I can't wait to have children myself, I plan on having at least twenty, if God allows, if not, maybe more. God willing, you understand.

But what I was taught, and what most chitlins are being taught, is that video games and movies are acceptable pass times, and Santa will bring you magic, and the Bunny will give you food, and the Great Pumpkin of Satan will give you pleasure. Instead of knowledge, we teach lies!

But hey, I can't preach, I'm not a reverend. So, if you are still reading this, and you get nothing else out of this, read to your kids, and let them read, read everything good and wholesome for the Lord. Oh, yes, and read the above authors, as well as Charles Schultz. P. S. C. S Lewis is the best out of them all except the Bible of course. What can you expect? He's from the Emerald Isle.
