Talking with the past

It's been suggested that I start to read before bed.  Years ago its something I used to do and was a nice way to wind down at night.  I stopped because I wasn't paying attention anymore to what I was reading.  After reading the quote below, maybe I was reading the wrong types of books.

"The reading of all good books is indeed like a conversation with the noblest men of past centuries who were the authors of them, nay a carefully studied conversation, in which they reveal to us none but the best of their thoughts." - Rene Descartes

What conversations have you had recently with your books?
