I enjoyed reading these letters written by people from all different walks of life, sharing how reading has impacted their lives and encouraging high school students to read.

In frustration at his students‘ responses to reading, a high school English teacher writes a letter to the editor asking people to write & and tell his students the role books have played in their lives. He received hundreds of responses from people in all walks of life across the country and as far away as China. I can‘t wait to read their responses. #currentlyreading #booksaboutbooks #whyread
