Tuesday's Tidbit

Today's tidbit is truly shocking, especially for a reading teacher...the average person reads less than one book a year!  Can this be true???  Why are people not reading books?  Do they not like reading?  Do they not have the time or are they not making the time?  I wonder if these same people only watch one television show a year...I would think not.  Is television the demise of good old fashion reading?  I hope not.  Reading brings me such joy I can't imagine reading only one book a year.  I can't even imagine reading one book a month!  My hope is with new technology (Kindles etc.) that reading will become more accessible for those busy people and hopefully inspire more people to read on a regular basis.
