reading is quite possibly the hardest task that a human being should learn in their life. The ability to scan small symbols abnd draw not only direct meaning from them, but also allusion, metaphor, sarcasm, humor, etc from them is HARD. it needs constant practice. Reading is truly the one thing that, if a person is taught to do, they can enhance their lives and lifestyles more than by learning any other task.
Reading for fun is great. reading for infomation is great. they both take different skill sets and both are crucial for the critically thinking mind.
I get very very sad when I see people that are proud of not reading, as if not having read a book since high school is some sort of badge of honor.
