I Think The Importance Of Reading Has Been Forgotten
Reading informs, questions , provokes, thrills, amuses, takes you to other worlds, and helps helps you make sense of what is around you, all this and much more. I include good newspaper journalism in this) I don't totally decry television, good TV can do much of this (though, as a visual medium, it cannot paint a mental picture like reading can), but too much it's used as a quick fix.
