The Danger of Reading
I have a problem. Reading is dangerous for me. It's not because I live in a repressive society or that what I read makes me unhappy, discontented, or rebellious. It's not because of the content at all. It's because of the voice. Every writer has a voice, a style. It's the words they use, the way they put the words together, the way they communicate what they think. My problem is that when I read I pick up the writer's voice and it comes out in my speech.

You're right. When I read Will Rogers, I become Will Rogers. When I read John Wayne, I become John Wayne, pilgrim.
I sound just like Henry Fonda. Watch this: "I, I, I, I, I, I, think so." See sounded just like him didn't it?
