I do have a television over there - it was a gift - but I never turn it on. I'd rather read a book.

I never was for telephones. Just don't like them, that's all. Anybody wants to talk to you, they can come to see you.

If you really want to understand the adversary's thinking and help turn the tide of battle, ... read this book!

Reading, for me, is like this: consumptive, pleasing, calming, as much as edifying. It's how I feel after a good dinner. That's why I do it so often: It feels wonderful. The book is mind and I insert myself into it, cover it entire, ear my way through every last slash and dot. That's something you can do with a book, unlike television or movies or the Internet. You can eat it, or mark it, like a dog does on a hydrant.

I thank him for the gift he has blessed me with.

If I'm watching television and the cable goes out, I tell myself, 'OK, I'll read a book. Family matters, not possessions.'
