When we were in school it was that we read for class and didn’t want to read anymore or didn’t have time to. Now it’s the reading at work that makes some of us not big readers.

I’m thinking in the past when a person was a farmer or a housewife there wasn’t a lot of reading going on while at work nor were t-v’s accessible so leisure time was spent reading. Now there are fewer who stay home, etc. so when a person comes home from work it’s easy to let your brain ‘rest’ as you watch t-v.

I think the occupation factor might also come into play here? What I mean is, I work on a computer all day long…sure, gainful employment is great, but the absolute last thing I want to do when I am not at work is look at a computer. I am guessing your job requires lots of reading (just a guess)….couldn’t blame you for wanting someone else to take care of that for you sometimes….

It’s great picturing the scene in my head. And reading can also encourage a person to be more open-minded and seek knowledge… which is a good thing! :)

All grammatical kidding aside, there is certainly no requirement to read, but I think that finding a book that makes you want to read is a wonderful thing. Reading the book, rather than watching the movie version or listening to an audio book, is like hearing a great band live, instead of on CD (also a relic of the last century). The instant-gratification version is better than nothing, but still not quite the real thing….
