Culture,Age,Reading and Writing
How much does culture have to do with what people are interested in reading?The reason i ask this is that there are a lot of poems that touch others deeply but don't do anything for me.May be it's because they invoke memories of a particular generation or time...........Maybe i'm too young or have lead a too sheltered life or belong to another culture.......I guess i have to broaden my horizons!The trouble is i want it all now.I want to be able to share all those wonderful memories and images.Right now i feel like 'Tom' the water baby who couldn't stand the taste of sweets and had to stand there watching while all the other water babies enjoyed themselves!Except of couse that i haven't gone and stuffed myself so full of "sweets" that i've made myself sick!
Advice please!(have i put in too many exclamation marks?)
