Me too. Every time I found a book that struck me as very good, for one reason or another I bought many copies and passed them out.

I must have passed out 20 copies of :"The Axe Maker's gift". my favorite book of all time. If a person can only read one book that is the one I would suggest.

Anyone who reads that one book will probably know more important stuff about the human species than half the faulty at most colleges.

Nice to see you Ralph.

A lot more reading going on than you would think. A walk around a ferry or some such place and it is surprising how many folks are out reading. For years I gave out books as a reward on "rewards day" at the end of the year. My thought was who wants a dumb piece of paper printed on a copy machine. The kids loved it - and some complained because I had given them the first book in a series and "now I have to buy the next book"
