Nationwide survey shows that a growing and already large percentage of adults never have read a complete book after high school.(Pick some number that sounds high - that will be about right.) I also lament this change, but I can’t feign surprise.
The purpose of the education system is to give students a life-long loathing of learning.
To me that is just inconceivable! I probably read at least 150 books a year, if not more.
Every thing from poetry, history, and new theoretical information, to mysteries and science fiction.
How can any person go through life without reading for new information and just plain old pleasure.
Books contain much more real information and real entertainment than any movie or television program ever could.
People who don’t read miss out on everything from GOD (the bible), to KIPLING, to HEINLEIN, and all the good stuff in between.
