Read old books: "Every age has its own outlook."



"It is a good rule, after reading a new book, never to allow yourself another new one till you have read an old one in between. If that is too much for you, you should at least read one old one to every three new ones. Every age has its own outlook."
          ~ C.S. Lewis, from his introduction to Athanasius’s On the Incarnation

    Good advice. Also own books you can hold. Not something downloaded onto your computer which will later erased by the censors.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
