READ, READ, READ, READ, READ, READ, READ, READ, READ, READ!

      Reading is necessary and an opportunity to relax, learn, escape, and visit different worlds.  I sympathize with your busy lifestyles and understand that you don't have unlimited time to read.  However, I believe that you can find snippets in your day to enjoy a book.  You can read on a flight, in the car, in your tent, in your room, on the couch, with a friend, with a parent, at the pool, at the library, on the back lawn, while sunning, on the train, on a bus, to a pet, to yourself, to a sibling, in a waiting room, before bed, during halftime, during commercials, instead of video games, on a bean bag, in the shade, on the front porch, sprawled on the floor, on-line, during intermission, after a game, with a snack, in front of a fire, etc. 

 I have included a list of fabulous books, but I encourage you to explore the library shelves and find other great reads.  Just pick a book and dive in!
