Reading: What is it, what is the importance of it, and how does it affect us?

As you might have guessed, this discussion is about reading and what it entails. I took a course last summer that was titled "Reading and Writing." We discussed many things pertaining to literacy (especially what a literacy is) but what has stuck with me the most is the idea of reading. How it has evolved, what it actually is, and what purpose it serves.To start things off, the other day I was discussing with a friend on this very topic and came up with this statement on what reading is:“To be…See More

What Be Your Nerd Type?
Your Result: Literature Nerd
 

Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works.
It's okay. I understand.
