BiblioFiles #83: You Are What You Read?
In this episode the gang wrestles with the claim, “you are what you read” – more properly recognized as, “you become what you behold.” Is this a true statement? What kind of an effect does our reading have on us, and how should that influence our reading selections? It’s an old fashioned BiblioFiles rumpus of the first degree!
