« Reading and Writing: The two "R's" | Main | English as the Internet medium of choice »

Getting the reading habit

In a previous iteration, we developed the thesis that people interested in Writing should also develop a healthy liking for Reading, whether this be in the form of good books, monthly periodicals, or even the daily news.  Perhaps, in recognition of the more modern age we are in, Reading today is made even more possible – and with a much broader scope – through the use of the Internet.

 The development of a good writing style may derive from one’s choice of good reading materials. Books and magazine articles that are well written help one build up a sub-conscious internal bank of both data and style that can be drawn upon depending on the occasion. Conversely, reading trashy books or poorly written articles will probably result in an impaired facility to communicate one’s thoughts. It’s the same formula: Garbage In – Garbage Out!

Sadly, this lack of facility for the written word often finds its way into Internet blog sites. I am frankly amazed at either the brazen or crass use of foul language, or the total lack of appreciation for the right way to write (pun intended). In many cases, an offended party simply falls back on the use of gutter language to get his or her feelings across. Sad!
