A bit of good news in a sea of bad. Reading is on the rise. Is this some new escapist thing to get away from the economy, your 401K balance, and the other bad news? More people are even reading fiction, especially fiction. Yowza!
One of the publications I read mentioned that no one has determined if readers were picking up Proust or Nora Roberts. Read both, I say! Read Water for Elephants! Read your local mystery writers. Some of them are awfully good. Pick up a children's book you haven't touched for ages. Wind in the Willows comes to mind. If you can't afford a book, go to your local library. Swap with friends.
Here is a short article discussing the reading phenomenum. Yay!
