I cannot imagine going a year without reading a single book. No wonder people's brains are going soft.

Yup. It's all screen time these days.

I just bought a bunch. History, fiction, art monographs. Real books too, not that Kindle crap.

NO DOUBT. Hell I have half a dozen books by my bedside that I'm poring through simultaneously.

There is something about a real book, thats for sure. I love the feel of the pages, the smell ect ect.

But I like my Kindle too. Especially when I travel. I can take dozens of books and it fits in the back pocket of my jeans.

Can't books be read online now, those that have been released in such a way that is?

God bless you always!!!

..I went to the library all the time as a kid...read WW2 books...English was my best class.....
....so I took my kids there all the time.....people who read books usually do better in English class/etc--obviously ....
..my kid is a straight A student/plus....does great in English class....is far ahead of her classmates
....OBVIOUSLY you should read to your children starting when they are very young--but a lot of parents don't!!!

...in the old days books were the ''movies''/etc = something to do--''go to'''
..that's why a loooooooong book like War and Peace was [ IS ] enjoyable--it is like a TV miniseries...you can/could sit by the fire or the lantern and go to Russia

trump admits he is one of those non-readers.

I imagine he is a shining example to all the conservatives....

does this mean conservatives don't actually READ all those books of right wing lunacies that they buy every year?



sad....all of those "why we need to do something about the liberal problem" books sitting on shelves unread....but LOVED!

And underlying all the problems? Fatherless homes.....single teenage girls trying to raise children from multiple males......and failing.....

Thirty three percent of all HS grads never pick up another book, forty two percent of college grads never read another book. Pretty sure the political persuasion among those groups are most likely evenly divided......

Bullshit! A single parent can encourage reading. Trips to the library don't require 2 parents.
