“I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.” 

― Jorge Luis Borges

The idea of owning a secondhand bookstore is a dream I have had for many years.  There is so much knowledge, wisdom, escapism and fantasy captured in a book that the real world can sometimes pale in comparison to that which occurs in our imagination.

@winstonmoreton is a man with a passion for books.  Some people write them while others consume them.  Winston is the latter.  And proud of it to boot.  Living in New Zealand's sunniest province (Gisborne) I have no doubt there has been many a good hour spent outside, in a deck chair, with a good book and no doubt some liquid refreshment to accompany proceedings.

And being a reader of books he has a wide perspective of current affairs and the world of politics as well as human welfare around the world.  He has a sharp edge when it comes to telling the politicians or leaders of the world that they're getting it wrong and I don't mind that at all.

"Can we please hear from the person who put that dirty shell in the basement.? Someone must know who it was. #Syria"

But with all the consumption of words - where do they go?  Well they find themselves an output via -->

"#shortstory competition @SundayStarTimes . 16 days to go. Looking for First Sentence Ideas Help Desk."

And when you live in the first place in the world to see the sun every day you tend to be a bit sharper than most -->  "Hey world its 8 August already in #gisborne"

@winstonmoreton is one tweeter who isn't afraid to share his mind with the world or with twitter.  If you are looking for a tweeter who can see both sides of the argument and yet stands his ground when he knows he's right then Winston is your man.  Give him a follow - you might just be pleasantly surprised to see who pops up in your timeline.
