On Reading

I love photography and the latest exhibition at the Photographers' Gallery in London is fab (and it's free!).

It features photos by the Hungarian-born André Kertész celebrating not only the delights of reading, but also the way in which it draws us in, making us oblivious to everything and everyone around us (a wonderful way of being in the present moment, unless you have left the bathwater running!). It features people reading in the street, at train stations, in parks and on secluded rooftops and balconies.

The exhibition runs until 4 October, so do check it out!

Citation...well, it makes a change from quotation!!

Failures and successes are intimate relatives; if you want to dine with the latter, you must occasionally sit down with the former, especially as you sometimes can't tell them apart until the third course. - David Campbell
