That was certainly a long, but interesting post, Rick. Hope you don't mind my comment. I feel that reading today is almost a lost art. I understand the grade comment, but I also think that like a pump, sometimes we need to be "primed". I not only buy books for the grandchildren, we often read them together. I have found that the more we read,the more we desire to read. And, btw, there are many recent books out there, available at your library, that are excellent reading too. Perhaps, future classics! I must also say that I loved reading the classics in school, as a child. Perhaps it was because we also read them at home!
