Re: Praise for George Guidall
I can't read an article about audiobooks without wanting to tell the world about Will Patton reading the Dave Robicheaux novels by James Lee Burke. He employs numerous different flavors of Louisiana patois and it's almost always easy to tell who's speaking. Even his female characters are distinctly feminine and different from each other. ...

Sudoku lover.
I just spent 5 minutes reading all about the apparent confusions as to why a person might spend time doing a (mindless) puzzle instead of working out a way to cure say Cancer. How many people read mindless (long) Blogs each day all these people are suposedly better in that they READ. If these said readers then put their thoughts into fixing the ...

Oh, puh-leez ....
This whole article is nothing more than sour grapes. So the author hates crosswords and sudoku. Big deal. I can't do sudoku, either. So what? As far as reading goes, to be a superior crossword solver, you *MUST* be a superior reader. Where do you think all that information comes from in order to figure out the clues? In order to do the ...

Re: "Social Currency" --Next stop, electronic flash cards
You're certainly right about this:Those of us who have invested time and effort into cultivating our litterary talents might feel old and irrelevant, but that was going to happen anyway. I'm really just fatalistic about the direction reading is going, but this doesn't mean I'm happy about it. It is hard for me to see how ''easy access to ...

"Social Currency" --Next stop, electronic flash cards
''Social currency'' is only an observation of what is a symptom of a decline in reading. Fewer and fewer people are readers. More and more people are scanners. And they write and talk like it. Plenty of hard data to back this up. Start with the two recent reports on reading put out by the NEA.Reading on screens, even screens displaying the ...

Schools have already changed; parents have to consider this
Kindergarten is more academic than it used to be. Kids are expected to learn to read. They are expected to know how to behave in school already. Not all five year olds are ready for this. Individual parents have to do what's best for their kids. This may reinforce the pressures for academic kindergarten, but a parent who tries to buck the ...

Hello Goodbye, Melvyl and Bob Brass
You two really ''went to town'' or ''to the mat'' here in this string, didn't you? I came across Bob Brass posting much later, and trailed him back here. Bob is of high intelligence, got a good education, his Mom taught kids in New York City most if not all of her career, and Bob worked as an analyst of sorts for Uncle Sam. Melvyl is also an ...

Fantastic Books
There is a wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated book entitled Hurry Scurry Worry by Brooke Davis that my niece absolutely loves. What I like about this author is that she has even put a free flash game on her website that teaches kids the alphabet. http://www.kittenpuppypress.com/free_flash.html Hurry Scurry Worry relates to children ...
