Day 194: Read to Travel
Posted by Kelli Joan Bennett
Traveling on words
Day 194. Jack Kerouac is taking me On the Road. I’m reading the original scroll, not the 1957 edition. It’s research for a character in my screenplay. I love reading—novels, non-fiction, self-help, memoirs, classics, More magazine, tweets—you name it, I probably like to read it. Reading is like traveling to me—another love of mine. Instead of being on a bus or on a plane or on my feet, I’m traveling on words.
“There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep on rolling under the stars.” ―Jack Kerouac, On the Road: The Original ScrollUntil tomorrow, create from what you have…reading.
I like this comparison. Reading is such a getaway and I love it as well. Perhaps that is part of the reason we get along so well!
Yes, probably has something to do with it! 🙂
Said perfectly, “reading is such a getaway!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I so appreciate it.
