People might criticize Hillary for the "bargain" of her marriage to Bill, HOWEVER no one can convince me that Laura Bush didn't sell her soul when she married George! She should be ashamed of comments that disregard reading...then again, look what his father's comments about broccoli did...crazy, crazy crazy! I'd be lost without books-I give them at Baby Showers to get those "have to have the latest gadget Mommas" the very obvious reminder that wipe warming boxes really aren't going to be their child-to-be's best friend! The reaction is always the same, "Oh, why didn't I think of that?" and always surprises me because it's such a simple yet personal gift choice...How proud am I that (while we've all taken turns reading it to him) our 7 year old is on page 16 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! Enough ranting for today! I'm off to read my latest: The River Wife by Jonis Agee! What I LOVE about GWB’s comments on lack of reading time, his friggen WIFE is an elementary school LIBRARIAN!!!

Start reading to them when their small, get interesting books and absolutely no tv. That's what my offspring did with his boys and they all read. I just heard something about tv for babies? Supposed to make them little Einsteins or something? That's nuts, in my view only....ciao I’m not sure what Bush has to do with the lack of reading, isn’t it a parent’s responsibility to get kids to read?

That is simply ridiculous. I think I read six or seven baby books alone last year! LOL! Even with the baby, I find time to read a chapter or two a day! Yes, there are other things I could do during that time, but I need to feel like I am expanding my mind in some way or another. My husband on the other hand... he reads books when there is no internet... on long trips... I think he probably does make it to about four or five a year, depending on the country he is in. Wow!

That's why I always try to give books as presents. To G and my Mom...but honestly, even that doesn't work. For example, when I give my Mom books that I think she will enjoy, I end up reading them, years later....after they've served as coasters on the table. It’s a shame, yeah?
