Oh, hey there. I haven't had much to say lately, just other things to do. I'm not a regular blogger anymore and finally admitted it to myself. Now I'm admitting it to you. So hello again.
Here's something I couldn't help sharing: a New York Times article about the brain on fiction. This morning, Kathrin of Annekata shared this article by Annie Murphy Paul. The article presents the results from studies of brain activity while reading.
I particularly love the concluding lines of the article:
"Reading great literature, it has long been averred, enlarges and improves us as human beings. Brain science shows this claim is truer than we imagined."
How wonderful is that?
