And, as much as we appreciate the convenience of ebooks, notice these readers are all reading from physical copies? I love a handheld book. Seeing them on the shelf, like treasure. Digital is convenient for travel, but it's a shame they lack any sort of title display ... Nothing to visually promote which book is being read.

Silent book clubs have become a global phenomenon with millions of readers joining in. Friends and strangers gather in bars, restaurants, bookstores and publ...

Whenever I’ve worn this Harry the Dirty Dog t-shirt, people (young and old) have gone out of their way to tell me how much they love the book, how they remember someone reading it to them, or how much fun it is to read the book to their kids or grandkids or students.
So when I unearthed the shirt recently, I thought: here’s something that would be good to wear now.
I put it on and went for a walk, and within 3 blocks of the house, a woman called out to me: “Is that Harry the Dirty Dog on your shirt?”
“Yes,” I called back.
“I love that book,” she said. “I read it, oh probably 10,737 times to my kids.”
“Yep,” I said.
“It never got old,” she said.
“Nope,” I said.
“It makes me happy just to think about it,” she said.
“I get it,” I said.
There you have it: the power of Harry the Dirty Dog--the power of reading aloud.
And can I just say?
Now is a really good time to read someone you love a story.

Heh heh - what a brilliant read. Now THIS is good writing! Trail blazers take it in the face because they can TAKE it! ("Depends absorbent underwear" ... now THAT's proactive wisdom) ha ha -- more please.
