The idea that kids reading for entertainment will somehow result in more educational reading is a little off the mark, mind you. |
Yeah, I was thinking something along these lines too.
Also, I've found myself reading less and less fiction over the years. To the point now that I can't remember when I last read a novel. I'm always telling myself "I must start reading novels again; I really should read more fiction", just got round to asking myself "until something specific piques your interest, why?".
It occured to me that the only reason I was thinking I needed to read more novels was basically because it's considered a worthy way to spend your time. So I'll stick to non-fiction until something fictional grabs me (like a ghost, or a friendly bouncer......boom boom).
