I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.

Everyone hates TV…. For those of us who learn visually it’s an important medication in our healing.
I don’t hate TV. I have found a few shows that I love and have taught me a great deal. Reading Rainbow for example. I pick quotes that have to do with books somehow. I agree with some, I mildly disagree with others, but there is such a wide range of emotion when it comes to books, I feel that I must present all, or most, of them. Groucho Marx was known for making some off the wall comments. This is a shining example of his wit and humor. And he was a comedian with a fairly famous TV show called “You Bet Your Life.” I don’t think he hated TV, I think he just liked making people think.
It’s refreshing to see/hear someone quoting a book for once, not TV or film.
