My golf handicap is my swing.

...a novel, like a myth or any great work of art, can become an initiation that helps us to make a painful rite of passage from one phase of life, one state of mind, to another. A novel, like a myth, teaches us to see the world differently; it shows us how to look into our own hearts and to see our world from a perspective that goes beyond our own self-interest.

Reading for me will be a combination of books, magazines, Tumblr and just kind of the Web in general on the iPad.
