Yer, the support group should have plenty of money to help support the book addict by paying the difference between his expectations and the actual reality.

I’m currently reading Above Ourselves: The Art of True Happiness, written by James H. Jauncey.

“Reading is a vital method of intellectual improvement. Watching television, or listening to the radio, or using other handy methods of ‘killing time,’ is much more effortless, but doesn’t offer the rewards available to the serious reader. It is a shocking situation that in this country, many people even with college degrees, do not read as much as one book a week.” - James H. Jauncey

Dr. Jauncey wrote this in 1964. He was shocked back then that many people weren’t reading even one book per week. Per week! What would he feel, what would he say, if he knew how much less most people read today?
