Reading: It Ain't So Bad

GREENWOOD, IN—"Instead of spending hours on YouTube every night, Mr. Meyer, unlike most healthy males, looks to books for gratification," said one psychologist.

I love this Onion article poking fun at the non-readers of the world. Sadly, I don't know very many people who read books for fun. The big excuse is "I don't have time," but if you have time to watch "The Hills" or eight hours of football on Sundays, you have time to read a book. Recently, I've been pretty much only reading nonfiction, but I'm reading Atonement right now, because I want to see the movie. I usually refuse to see movie adaptations of books until I read the book first, because once I see the film, I can't picture the characters in my own imagination anymore - I can only see the faces of the actors who starred in the movie.
