 |   Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts |
 "Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself." CHARLIE CHAPLIN  Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet confinement of your aloneness to learn anything or anyone that does not bring you alive is too small for you. David Whyte        This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts. |
| Prompt: You are going to be trapped in a book for 30 days. Which book are you going to choose? Why this book? ----------- Most of my reading nowadays is digital, which means I'll have to be trapped in a digital book, online or in one of my devices. This is because I can control the fonts and the lighting on a digital device whereas a print book needs some outside intervention. So in my case, while thinking about this question, I thought, why should I be trapped in a single book instead of a series of books? Then, I asked myself, "Why not an encyclopedia?" Absolutely! This is because encyclopedias provide a wide range of information on many subjects, covering various fields such as history, science, arts, geography and then some. Better yet, they are credible in their accuracy more often than not. As to any specific encyclopedia, Britannica has a distinct place and it comes in digital forms, too. Yes, it would be fun to be trapped inside Encyclopedia Britannica. I like this specific encyclopedia for its higher editorial standards that involve fact-checking, peer review, and constant updates. Plus, it has tradition and a very long history for being in existence since the 18th century. I especially like its educational value and no ads policy. This offers me some focus and distraction-free reading that I can fully enjoy. Therefore, next time you search something inside the Britannica, see if you can sense me wandering around in it.   . |
