I'm not exactly sure why I am often awe struck when reading from a book or off the computer. I find that the whole idea that these markings/letters combined to form words that convey ideas really fascinating. It’s sounds strange, but it kind of beautiful.
I guess because of my rather poor vision, that it is more pleasant that I can see and understand.
I can also see myself, had I lived back during the Dark Ages, breaking in to a church and trying to teach myself to read from the bible.
