So True, So True

In an article (very long) called How To Read, Nick Hornby says: If reading books is to survive as a leisure activity - and there are statistics that show that this is by no means assured - then we have to promote the joys of reading, rather than the (dubious) benefits.

Tell it to the people who come up with summer reading lists for kids.

I've actually read The Polysyllabic Spree, a collection of Hornby's Stuff I've Been Reading columns for The Believer, which he refers to in this essay.

Aw, c'mon man. I helped come up with the reading list for the 5 boroughs of New York. Not too shabby, eh? So certainly not all Summer Reading List creators can be lumped in as a single group.

I think I'm a reading anarchist.

They will miss the Metin2 gold and they will try their best to play this game to get the joy. As long as they earn the Metin2 yang they will be happy and they think the game is very interesting. Of course they have to have a lot of Cheap metin2 gold by themselves. Sure, that process of achieving will have its unpleasant and disagreeable aspects.I am lonely so I play the game and Buy metin2 gold to give my friends. They also give me a lot of Cheap metin2 yang while playing the game.
