"The problem in our country isn't with books being banned, but with people no longer reading. You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them." Ray Bradbury
"He liked all books, because he liked the mere act of reading, the magic of turning scratches on a page into words inside his head." John Green
"There are a lot of people like me, people who need books the way they need air." Richard Marek
"Writers turn dreams into print." James Michener

When I was a teacher I worked with people (teachers) who hated reading, not just teaching it, but the act of reading, never read anything they didn't have to. No wonder we're raising generations of nonreaders.
ReplyDeleteThat is really bad, you don't have to be an avid reader but if you teach you should like to read something, how else are you going to pass on any knowledge?
ReplyDeleteI am following your blog now and an looking forward to even more exchanges of thoughts.
Have a good week,
