I am an intellectual snob, or at least I am confused by a conspicuous absence of reading material.

It hit me today that I am an intellectual snob while I was watching my daughter's classmates talk about the most recent book orders while waiting to be picked up after school

Hey -- can you add my new journal? I switched from jessis to jrsonday.

Thank you!! :-)

I know what you mean. I am amazed that the average college graduate only reads 1 book a year. Now, since I read 87 last year, that means a lot of people never read at all. How do people not read? I find myself sneaking it in all the time. I also have a book in the car and read 3 or 4 at a time.

Reading is such an important thing in our house. I know that the oldest has gotten that. I have become my mother and am often heard saying "Put that book down at the dinner table." I caved about breakfast since it was books or cereal boxes. :)

Well, g_dd_mnit, cut back a little and let them have a chance!

Actually I was in a very big slump for the past 6 years. Young ones and reading are definitely antithetical. So I was part of 50bookchallenge and 15000pages last year as a challenge for myself. I am hoping for 100 and 30,000 this year. But I will try not to hog all the good ones.

I dunno. I don't see much trouble suggesting the Bible isn't good reading. I got bored halfway through Genesis.

I wholeheartedly agree. But, I'm also a book snob.
