[PRCo] Re: Book Reading

[Herb Brannon]

Ed, Fred III, and I had a conversation about 'books' just this past Sunday while we were in the PTM Library. I too have a very extensive home library, covering all subjects, and I do read the books. I'm getting ready to go to work now and I have a "Station Report" today. That means I will get paid for sitting on my @$$ until a run comes open or I will go home at 12noon. I will be taking two or three books with me to occupy my time while on the station report. People really need to get back to reading...................like the advertisement says, "Reading IS Fundamental."

It also noted that between 1992 and 2002 those in the college age group who have read a book voluntarily dropped from 59% to 52%. That does support a need for larger pictures, doesn't it?
