Just read David Byrne ,ex Talking head and his extensive collection of books and how he let his concert goers have a chance to borrow some of the books from his library when he shipped them from New York to England.Heck a few of the books in his library are so freaking intriguing to read like the history of Jazz,bachata or bossa nova.I would love to have a chance to read some of them.
Some of the reading materials I remember having read when young and impressionable was Heidi, a swiss children's storybook,the little Prince,antoine de exupery,the Arabian Nights, and as I grew older,Greek mythology,Journey to the West,Romance of the Three Kingdom,Tuesday with Morries,Italian writer The solitude of Prime Numbers,M Gandhi's My experiment with Truth,the Mosquito Coast.The Asian future -Dialogue for change.
When we open a book,we are given a chance to travel to a foreign place,to travel back in time or forward to the future.They are a treasure trove of talking heads.We are richer for having the chance to read
