Avid readers know that there are books out there that can change your life; not just non-fiction but fiction as well. However, people who don’t read not only have no idea what they are missing, but show the steady decline of society as we know it. This week we talked about a number of topics including the fact that America has let reading become less important than TV and cell phones.
- Our first topic was “The 75 BooksEveryManShouldRead,” and these books ranged from funny to downright serious.
- Teenagers that are serious about heading to college will benefit from reading “100 Books Every High Schoo lStudent Should Read,” these should help themto get a head start on the classics before their freshman year begins.
- Books whether they are classics or modern fiction can have an impact on the readers lives. In “Five Books That Changed My Life,” Remy tells us what his five books are and the reasons they are important to him.
- In “25 Things I Learned From Opening A Bookstore,” we took a lighthearted look at the trials a bookstore owner went through and found that used bookstores are not as popular as they used to be.
- Books have fallen to the wayside in America and it is never more evident than in Ransom Riggs “Who Reads Books?”. Statistics for reading after college are appalling.
- We wrapped things up this week with “Tips For Getting Your Teenager To Read.” With the advent of cell phones, video games, and computers it’s hard to pin your teen down enough to open a good book; hopefully these tips will help.
