Six Reasons to Read on

1. It's hot out, and sitting reading is the best way to make the most of the sunshine.
2. It's raining again, and reading carries you away from the depressing weather.
3. If you weren't reading you might be tempted to raid the refrigerator.
4. It isn't as likely to upset the neighbours as playing your favourite band's latest album at top volume.
5. I said you could.
6. Here's the latest Iyessi song:

When fate smiled upon me
And life had no care
You swore that your friendship
Would always be there,
That when storm clouds gathered
And all hope was lost
That you'd stand beside me
Whatever the cost.

But now I'm in trouble
I find that my trust
In you and your friendship
Has all turned to dust.
