“Big Al” blog entry
. . .I took a look at his MySpace page. . .and under the listing for his favorite book(s) he entered “notta,” i.e. “nothing.” The guy doesn’t READ for crying out loud?

I don’t know for sure about Al’s reading habits. I know I’ve at times set up a profile on a page such as MySpace and not taken the time to fill out everything, so maybe he just put “notta” in there to fill up space.
I do hear you though. I personally love to read and am usually devouring several books at once. My life has been so much richer for all the reading I’ve done. I can’t imagine not reading!
It does make me sad to watch young people today (am I still young at 36?) so caught up in video games, movies, the internet (here I am blogging, what hypocrisy!), etc, and not reading a single book.
What kind of people will these young people grow up to be? What kind of citizens? It’s a frightening thought…
