I'm envious.I was a voracious reader back in "the day".Not cool.We had a pretty progressive elementary school back in...around 1970?Newly constructed,it was built with no walls.Everything was moduler.In fifth grade I was skipping class to go read.Pretty stupid of me.With no walls I was only a few cubicles away from my old-school type teacher.I was pretty shocked when suddenly I was being lifted straight into the air one day.And as much as this is a "not cool" thread I believe that reading MAKES you cool.At least thats the message I'm trying to pass on to my 11&13 year old kids.
