The Joy of Reading‚ or‚ What Reading Really Means to Me When I was first asked to make this short speech‚ I was struck by the title “What Reading Means to Me.” My knee-jerk reaction was “What doesn’t reading mean to me?” As a professional librarian‚ I thought of all of our standard platitudes: “Reading is Life.” “Reading is Fundamental.” “There is no such thing as too many books.” I might easily have gone on and on along this vein‚ until I remembered that‚ for me

Greatest Fear The fear I have in my life is my fear of syringes and blood. As far back as I can remember‚ getting a small shot or having blood taken out for testing has resulted in my passing out or‚ throwing up in public.

The Greatest Is Love (Light Voice) If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels‚ but have not loved‚ I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge‚ and if I have a faith that can move mountains‚ but have not loved‚ I am nothing.
