Far too often, when we as a society think of those who need to be encouraged to read we think of children. What about adults? A staggering majority of American adults do not read for leisure. Last week as I listened to NPR tell the story about a Philadelphia bookstore, Black and Nobel, I was encouraged to hear one of the female patrons state that it was because of this store, that she was reading more as an adult. That statement alone was enough of a reason for me to post this article.
Here’s the story from NPR

How often do you read? For pleasure or work? Newspapers, stories about David Bowie, magazines, comic books, Harry Potter, Shakespeare’s Sonnets, etc.; these are all quality pieces of literature. Why not take the opportunity to read one?
