Well, yes, I love food and I love being healthy. And I give credit to my reading for helping me to be so fit and healthy. You could say that medical doctors are one dimensional or golfers are one dimensional. But perhaps they love what they're doing and that's what makes all the difference.

My opening post was not about books per say and not about reading in general. It was a tongue-in-cheek statement of my impression of novels and the people who read them. Should I have said, "this is a tongue-in-cheek post"? I would hope that people here who are avid readers would be able to pick up on that.....only my opinion, of course.
