With all the negative news teens get in the media; drugs, sex, violence, inappropriate videos, ect. It's great to see the media is showing what the majority of teens are really like.

If reading involves good foundational material, more power to them. Too much commercialism and not enough study has turned the younger generation of Americans minds to mush. Commercialism has no values, only profit.

It is ok if they not reading for Shakespeare but at least they are not hypnotist front of the TV with all those stupid reality shows.

Reading a good book can be much more rewarding than any tv program. You can put your self there and your mind pictures what the author is saying and your body feels it. I go through periods where I might read 3 or 4 books a week. I am glad to see the young people reading more.
