Dear Kid,
Today is Book Lovers Day.
Um, why?
There are some things that just seem too obvious to talk about.
I mean, we don’t have a National Take a Breath Day (do we? I don’t think we do). We don’t have a National Blink Your Eyes Every Now and Then Day. We don’t have Love Your Pancreas Day. We just do those things.
So why do we need Book Lovers Day?
In my not so humble opinion, EVERY day should be a book-infused day. Everybody should take time to read on a regular basis. And not just texts (I know people read those on a regular basis. But “C U L8R” is not the same as “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times” or “A person’s a person, no matter how small.” (Penalty points if you can’t identify both of those.)
It’s a little different when you’re in college; I get that. You spend a LOT of time (I hope) reading for classes, doing homework, and studying.
Hopefully when you have a break (summer, winter, etc.) you’ll occasionally pick up a book and read it.
Or, maybe since you haven’t started classes yet, you’ll take a moment or two today to celebrate.
Enjoy.
