  I just woke from a dream earlier this evening,
  where I was lecturing at the dinner table about
  how my habit of reading might not actually have
  all that much point to it.

  I had started out talking about grim crime
  novels, and was planning on talking about
  "uplifting" fiction, making the general point
  that there's no reason to assume any of this
  is really time efficient.

  What do you learn from them?

  What about them makes your life
  better, than say, a few hours of
  bike riding or rock climbing?

     I was primarily talking about fiction here,
     but is it only true of fiction?



            But I don't really *believe*
            there's no point to reading
            fiction...

            So what is the point?

            Where would a dream like
            this come from?




                                        I have also found myself
                                        dreaming about reading...
                                        it's not unusual with me for
                                        a sequence of dream actions
                                        turns into me dreaming that
                                        I'm reading about the action.
