Ven. Pomnyun's Answer to " Is Reading Books While Travelling Good or Bad?”

Selection from a Dharma Q&A session at Northwest Library, Columbus, Ohio (Sep 13, 2018)

My question is kind of personal. I like to read. and for me being in the story is better than life. So is it good or bad? I know that it’s kind of avoiding. Especially when I travel, I read. So I'm kind of avoiding travel by reading. And my question is, is it good or you think it’s not good?
