Before I start

Read, read, read. Read everything - trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window.~ William Faulkner

Hey, what a better place to “read” although to indulge, a public library can throw open its doors and I can actually take books home and they are mine all mine for 3 weeks.

I don’t think I could exist without a book to lose myself in. I can travel the world, sit in on a murder, be privileged to the most inner thoughts of the characters, shed a tear and laugh myself silly in a quite corner or on the train. The latter guarantees a seat all by yourself! Unless of course, there is another avid reader who just wants to connect with your private world – and chatter. Then one has to drag oneself up to a conscious state to answer questions like “have you read...”? Don’t ever think I’ll cuddle up in bed or in a comfy chair with a “good computer”.

But enough ...

Now let’s see how I connect with Learning 2.0 – no wa hoos or yahoos yet.
