Imagine a world where every person had to read at least an hour a day

I read one to to hours a day before going to sleep. I've done it most of my life and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. At any given time I have 6-10 books that I'm at some stage of reading. I also have a few magazine subscriptions (mostly food or wine related) that I read monthly.

I go into the office Mon through Thurs most weeks. For lunch I either grab Jimmy John's from up the street or bring leftovers. I spend my lunch hour at my desk eating and reading a book. It's a great break from everything in the middle of the day.

Sunday through Thursday I usually read between 30 minutes and two hours (average about an hour) before going to sleep. Then length is typically defined by how long the melatonin takes to kick in.

Friday and Saturday nights I'm usually too drunk to read anything but Tigerdroppings.

I read about 20 hours a week at a minimum. It is the best brain food possible.

When i was in jr high we had "blocked" English classes which meant instead of just one period it lasted 2 periods. First period we were required to bring a book and read. If we didn't have a book we were sent to the library to get one. We need more teachers like Mrs. Embry!
