Not sure which is worse, someone admitting truthfully they don't read, or someone boasting dishonestly that they read all the time. I guess boasting you don't read is probably worse than lying about reading, since at least the latter realizes they SHOULD read. I'm so glad my kids and grandkids are voracious readers. I believe it really helps to form a balanced mind, at least if the reading is reading from a balanced library.

Since a child, I have been a passionate reader. Reading teaches me about other people, families, countries and cultures.

As a teen, I began doing what I called "literature surveys." Read great authors: black, gay, Chinese, South American, Native American, British, Irish, Russian, and more.

Reading develops your understanding, compassion and vocabulary.

I guess him and Hershel Walker went to the same school!
