Why reading is important

Archive for November, 2009

I am a student and read a _lot_, but reading in any position – sitting, reclining, in bed, in a chair, everywhere – usually gives me awful neck pain. I think someone should invent a book stand or suspended book holder to preserve people’s neck muscles. Suggestions?

I want to apply for an Economics and Finance degree and wanted to know if there is any background reading which I should do. If so could you please list any titles and authors, thank you.

Do you prefer to read physical, bound books or do you like reading them using electronics like Kindle, internet pages, digital audiobooks, etc.? Maybe you like both for different occassions? Explain why.
Just curious to see what people prefer these days.

Can anyone point me to any websites where I can read up on the Texas law regarding accessing and reading another person’s personal email without their permission? The email was not associated with work, just a personal hotmail or yahoo account. The person who did this did not have permission to access the account at anytime and was never given the login in or password. They also did not access the account for any monetary reasons. It appears they read the emails just to read the emails. This person also does not live in my house so the account was accessed from a different location, possibly their home. What legal rights do I have regarding this matter?

I’m an actor who sings well but I’m honestly too shy to audition for musical theatre because I don’t have solid sight-reading skills. I have had voice training and practice with choral singing, and have a very good ear, but I’m unsure if you need to be able to read music in the rehearsal process when learning the score.
Does the musical director working on the show help you?
P.S. I’m referring only to professional Equity theatre.
