The Case Against Reading: Why Books, Social Media & USMB should all be shut down

[basquebromance]

just why is reading so great? It's a solitary practice, one that takes away from time that could be spent developing important social networking skills. Reading's not required for health, happiness, or a loving family. And, if reading is so important, why are catchy slogans like "Reading Changes Lives" and "Champions Read" needed to hammer the point home?

Americans don’t read anymore. They watch tv news to get their information. Sad!
