After doing about 15 pages from the law reading I got super agitated and bored. Surprisingly, I'm over it. So to procrastinate I googled and yahooed what Albert Einstein thought of reading and this is what I serendipitously found:
"Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking."
Albert Einstein
US (German-born) physicist (1879 - 1955)
And who am I to argue? Who are we to argue? Indeed, who is Prue Vines to argue? If we read too much, which undoubtedly would be the case were we to read the hectic, unconscionable (!), book Vines has assigned to our already, burdened and overwrought shoulders then our creativity will suffer. Our very imagination will shrivel. Imagining and creating is like jogging for the mind (not that I'm condoning physical exercise - ugh), it strengthens our cognitive capabilities. So by reading we are hindering this! Our minds will atrophy and soon we won't even be able to think! All that will pass through our minds will be legal drivel! Daily activities will fall by the wayside (wherever that is) as we forget how to think, and act. How will I make toast of a morning (as an aside I'm about to invest in a Hello Kitty toaster that imprints Hello Kitty's face on the toast)? How will I remember how to get to the pub (yes, straight after my toasty breakfast)?
O legal discipline and namely, Prue Vines - I beseech you - let me think, create, imagine...let me live!
