I was born in 1982 and am part of the class of 2001, and I think kids read more
than today. I may be wrong, though. I mean, I too am always excited to find people
in my school who read and I try to talk to them about literature but usually
they're not that obsessed <g>. Sometimes I think it's just how you grew up. My dad
read me the Wall Street Journal when I was a baby, and I started reading at age 4
(this little book called "Martha's House" that I loved; no, it wasn't Martha
Stewart) and I got into Beverly Cleary in second grade. Then I read "Cujo" by
Stephen King at age 9. It all depends, I think. But I am so glad there is Harry
Potter because now kids LIKE to read and you can find some kids dumping their
GameBoys or turning off the giant glowing One-Eyed God in the corner of the room to
read Harry's next adventure.

From,

Anake
