Heavy is how I like my reading.

Me too. Especially when they put the subject matter into a video documentary so I don't have to read it.

Seriously, it's the mechanics of reading that I have a problem with. For me it's a very inefficient and cumbersome way to get "new software". It's good to have books for reference though.

If I can't quite remember if Jack indeed jumped over a candlestick, I can always check my books.

Reading exercises the brain. It makes you use your own imagination in the development of the story, instead of you watching someone elses version. I enjoy reading for that benefit alone. There is nothing like the story enhanced by your own imagination based upon the writer's words.

Video can enhance the story, however nothing beats what you imagine as you read the story. Thus the implementation of new "software" is also a new development/improvement of the hardware system.

Reading exercises the brain.

Among other things, which is what creates the problem for me.

I just got "The private life of Adders" Northern by Rodger McPhail. I've not read it all, but my first flick through the 127 pages has told me it's been a good buy. There are some fabulous photos of Vipera berus in the wild, mostly in Northern England. Text - wise it's not a heavy scientific read, it's drawn from the knowledge and observations of someone who has observed adders for several decades, but he does also draw draw from literature where relevant.

A thoroughly recommended book, and one I'm happy to have added to my library of herpetological books.
