I have a First Edition 57th Impression, which was about half way though first year, of Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
This is one of the greatest books of the 20th Century and everybody should read it especially politicians of all persuasions.

I love reading but admit that it is most escapist chick lit that I read, easy to pick up whenever I get a chance. Also like crime and thriller type ones.

i hate reading, do not have the patience to read a book. i buy the newspaper once a week and go straight to sports and for sale.

Cathy is the reader in this house.
Does she have any books?
Only about a thousand, she has books coming out the wood work.
Kids books, irish mhyths, and heeps of old books.
Me just not a reader, if i start a book, will read one page and then skip 20 as its all to booooring.

thats just me.

cheers brian

I agree with you splitfamily (peter)..why make younger kids read crap that may be considered literary classics when it doesn't communicate to a generation. I am not a smarter person because I read old classics that are irrelevant to the world I live in. The western aristocracy of what is 'a must read' will not stimulate thought or discussion in today's people. It may be a noctch on someone's belt...someone I'd rather not converse with.
If you want high retention rates of literacy in students, give them something interesting to them to read.
