I posted about reading this week, also. I have NO idea what life would be like w/o reading. I am ever amazed that my ancestors were able to survive when some were illiterate...I am thankful for their sacrifices to get me here! Great minds think alike, Manchild.

My favorite book as a child were "Anne of Green Gables" and "Heidi" and as an adult they are so numerous that I would end up causing your eyes to blur from all the reading that you would do to get to the bottom of that list. ;) Ok - I'll tell you two - "Auntie Mame" and "Chocolat." There! LOL Hi Manchild :) Not only do I love your Name but your blog is very thought-provoking and wonderful.

I mean, I recieved the 100 books read award like three times. Today, I am still an avid reader, and while I dont reach 100 in a year, I have been through about thirty, maybe thirty-five. The quotes were excellent. Readers are leaders. I couldnt possibly tell you what was my favorite book growing up because I read so many. I mean, I recieved the 100 books read award like three times.

In the past 2 days I have had a couple of occasions to re-visit the Dr Seuss classic "The Lorax". This is the type of story that Leaders who are readers could use to help with their thinking on Growth at any Price and Climate Change. I hope to add some comments to my blog soon.

As a child I spent hours on end reading. In the middle of the night I would get up just to finish a book and read by flashlight. Often I read up to 4 books a day. I don't read as much anymore...too busy but it is something I would really really really like to get back into! Definitely very mind stimulating “Readers are Leaders” – love it!

However we have quite a challenge as literacy is becoming much more intertwined with technology, as the younger generation requires much more instant gratification, visual stimulation, "bling, bling", and the like. I have lots of questions about how the term "literacy" has evolved and what it will mean in as little as 20 years from now.
