Having recently read _A Uncommon Reader_, I can say I completely agree with “50 Reasons to Read More.” (Not that I wouldn’t have agreed if I hadn’t just finished UR, but UR did such a nice job of incorporating the same points.)

I don’t blame you for wanting to stay away from your computer to enjoy the nice weather!

I’m not at all convinced by the guy who says claims students are getting brighter, they just can’t express themselves in coherent sentences. I mean, how can he tell?

Enjoy the lovely weather. Not so nice here in London.

The loss of the sentence. What’s next – vocabulary reduced to cliche? Acronyms?

Maybe we’re already there.
