Why Books?
THE WEEK is a magazine must in my home. It's the top news stories mixed in with the wackiest ones from across the globe. Last week featured relevant commentary on Obama's handling of the oil spill and how a woman is suing Google after she was hit by a car following a route SUGGESTED by Google Maps. Sandwiched between it all though was a tiny little piece about the importance of books in the home. The presence of books, stats show, was 2x as important to a child's progress in school as a dad's level of education (thought to be the strongest indicator). Did I need a reason to visit my favorite bookstore? Nah, but it makes me feel soooooooo goooooood. BRING ON THE BOOKS!
