I'm thinking the hobby I am beginning tonight might be one of the few things you can't learn completely from a book. I'm starting scuba diving lessons. In typical librarian fashion I immediately searched for appropriate library books on the topic of scuba diving but didn't have much luck. I then thought maybe I could get my hands on a few educational scuba films. Ummmm...not really. Try searching for movies with any scuba diving in them and the results are films like:
Aliens of the Deep-I kid you not...James Cameron movies DO NOT make me want to get in the cold water.
Fools Gold- only thing remotely good about this movie was when it ended. Watching Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson = total and complete loss of brain cells. I have to take another course at Oxford to get my smart back.
Into the Blue- some Jessica Alba film, I think most everyone died in some deep water related disaster with drug dealers. I'll skip it.
The Cave- HA how about a film about sea creatures that eat scuba divers trapped in...wait for it...a cave. Not.
So I'm totally flying blind before my first scuba class and not very happy that I couldn't find a manual or Scuba for Dummies book. But it did get me to thinking, what other hobbies or skills are there that you cannot learn entirely from a book? Here is my list:
1. Scuba Diving
2. Sex
Yes, EVERYTHING else you can learn from a book. Feel free to add your thoughts in the comment field.
