the solitary vice against reading
Brottman, Mikita
the solitary vice against reading - Berkeley Counterpoint 2008 - 233 p. Includes bibliographical references
Mikita Brottman wonders, just why is reading so great? It's a solitary practice, one that takes away from time that could be spent developing important social networking skills. Reading's not required for health, happiness, or a loving family. And, if reading is so important, why are catchy slogans like Reading Changes Lives and Champions Read needed to hammer the point home? Fearlessly tackling the notion that nonreaders are doomed to lives of despair and mental decay, Brottman makes the case that the value of reading lies not in its ability to ward off Alzheimer's
