Blogs...some blogs are like the new library. Still alot of quality literature is in print and in the form of books. How about setting a simple goal and shooting for reading some of the best of literature in the next week? Dave Bill

I was just reading this morning that a <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,294029,00.html">recent poll</a> says that 25% of Americans didn't read any books during 2006. I also found it interesting that: <blockquote>"Of those who did read, women and seniors were most avid, and religious works and popular fiction were the top choices."</blockquote> I've just recently started regularly reading several blogs and trying to actively read a book several times a week. Reading is a hard habit to pick back up, when I'm so used to being entertained and not really engaging my brain. Another question may be, have you read ANY books this past year?
