"You are one of us." --- quote from The Net
It makes me happy to know members here are reading books.
I have been saddened with the fact that "young" people I know IRL are not reading and our literacy level in the United States keeps dropping. Learning to read (and speak) another language (not including C#, C++, C, Ada, CGI, Perl, Delphi, Visual Basic, ASP, Asm, and the other thousand Technical languages not listed here), really would give me hope that the trend of each generation education level can break the downward curve of decline. Rather than fixing the Education system in the United States, we lower the standards of our measuring instruments (ie. SAT).
I do not know the ages of the posters, however at any age if this forum helps to introduce or provide motivation to read a novel. GREAT!!
Thanks for making my day.

PS: Someone start a thread in Off-Topic please, I want to know of new books that I have missed at Borders and Barnes and Noble.
Quote from "young person" I know: I don't like computers; I hate reading. (He gave me back the computer I gave him, because he bought X-box). :(
