Reading behavior

I'm practicing 'mindful reading' this morning ..seeing what pops into my head while I read ..the writer (Jack Kerouac) talks about the time he was working on an oil tanker ..and I see images of winches and booms from my own sailing experience ..only the ones here look much bigger and oilier ..I even hear oil sloshing around in the hold ..I look at the inside cover to see when it was written ..1954 ..makes me wonder how long we’ve been hooked on this stuff for.
