Raising A Reader

This is my son's favorite place to read a book. When we're not home and he wants to read he searches for a box he can use as a substitute. Might be a little more difficult for him at 30, but I don't judge. As long as he reads.

I did an informal survey of some of the staff here earlier this week. I asked them when was the last time they went to a store and bought a book to read for enjoyment, not for class (a lot of college students work here). Here are the three answers:

1. "Last week. I didn't go to a store, but I ordered two books on line."

2. "January or February. I got some books about the music industry."

3. "Oh my God, never! I hate reading."

Those answers are in descending order by age. I'm a little frightened.
