must have failed in some other area...

penni,

My daughter is currently reading Island of the Blue Dolphins for 6th grade. Thinking back, I believe this is the last book that I ever read. I shared that with a passenger on a flight back from Mexico about a year ago. A college professor, he replied that this statement was "an indictment of my intellectual capital" or something
to that effect.

Do you really think reading is that important that non-readers are to be considered failures?

Do our imaginations need to be stirred by the written word or can they grow and learn from things we see, feel, and live??

Can't obsessive reading be seen as an escape of reality, dwarfing a persons ability to see a true picture of reality?

Could one's brain be conditioned to only use an author's imagination for their own?

Just curious.

Tom

PS Recommend 1 book for me to read.
