But they all enjoy reading. I'll get them reading some of the 'classics' when they're a little older.

I have a section on one of the book shelves for classics. Which was well after high school. And the fantasy books are on the shelf above (there are more of them, of course).
I've pretty much carried a book with me since I could read. We used to go to a lot of laundromats, and the only way to get me to sit still was to give me a book. Then I started wandering off to the library when I was old enough.sigpic

Are we counting non fiction (TV show/movie "companion" books) and graphic novels?sigpic
Long before you and I were born, others beat these benches with their empty cups,
To the night and its stars, to the here and now with who we are.
Another sunrise with my sad captains, with who I choose to lose my mind,
And if it's all we only pass this way but once, what a perfect waste of time.

Originally posted by Iffy View PostI would say most of them don't read at home in the first place. There are some really good classics out there.
I would say book counts.

And also on the classics front - I'm an ex-English major and I can still love a classic, though it took me a few years to get over the mangling literary criticism performed on my brain.
I was Anthro, still not over Sex Life of Savages by Malinowski.

I'm from the West of Scotland, and in the places I've worked in the past, if you don't read a newspaper starting with the sport section, you're considered a bit of a weirdo.
If you actually sit and read a book, for pleasure, during your breaks, then you're viewed as a dangerous intellectual.sigpic

I couldn't go a day without reading some form of book. Dangerous intellectualism evidently beckons me as well. Jolly good!Morally Ambiguous Genius Non-Scientist.

I am about to start reading... McCade's Bounty."What do you mean by 'Oopps'?"
Team Starfist protects all. But having a fully loaded P-90 helps...

I'm not perfect. But parts of me are excellent I also cook...!
To thy own self... Be true
May the odds.... Be ever in your favour..!
