There are vegetable books that are "good for you," candy books that go down easy but make you feel a bit guilty if you indulge too much, meat and potato classics, and fine wines that are a challenging but rewarding, too :)<br /><br />Hopefully your sister will come to see that reading can be entertaining as well as, dare I say, fulfilling?Sarah Skiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242496273739569661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6565819901347496346.post-53431726822152726902009-12-05T18:18:53.348-08:002009-12-05T18:18:53.348-08:00I alwasy feel the same way!

It's worst when people find out that you like to read and start rattling off their favorite books and you haven't read any of them, let alone heard of half of them. <br /><br />I'm trying to get my teenage sister into reading, but she always claims to hate it. Yesterday I pointed out that maybe she's reading the wrong type of books because in the past year she has read two books and loved them - Twilight and Dear John (by N. Sparks). I suggested that maybe she should try more books with a romantic plot/subplot and she said that she didn't want to because "reading should be smart" and while she liked those books, they weren't increasing her knowledge or making her a better person.MeganRebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03285116194891827858noreply@blogger.com
