It might take a few months to get people here in the habit of reading a book every month.

One summer I was actually reading two books per day: A Louis L'Amour Western in the morning and a Mickey Spillane Mike Hammer book at night.

But the vast majority of Americans haven't read a book since they got out of high school or college due to the fact that they watch the television.

I started reading a lot of books during the TV commercials. But what would happen is that I found the books so interesting that I quickly didn't bother even watching the TV shows after the commercial breaks and stuck with the books. BTW, a LOT of book reading can be done while waiting in line at the Post Office (especially around Christmas time), sitting at the airport, on air flights, or just as an excuse not to have to talk to annoying In-Laws during the holidays.

I carry a book with me at all times and as a result, I never get bored waiting in line or anywhere else. One time I had to take my wife to the hospital for an operation (gall bladder removal) and sat in the waiting room for six hours. Having a book that day really bailed me out. I remember the book too, it was "The Brethren" by John Grisham and I practically read it cover to cover. Everybody else in the waiting room that day was staring at the walls or trying to watch the daytime game shows on the TV. How do they stand it?
