I agree with Renee.  One thing I have been thinking the past few years is
why do we try to fit everyone into the same enjoyments?  Some students are
not readers, some are not mathematicians, some are not musicians or artists.
I know reading is important and everyone uses it all the time, but my
husband is a wonderful person and I can't tell you the last time he sat down
and read a novel.  He reads directions for hanging light fixtures, or
repairing toilets, or whatever.  He is more mechanically minded and would
rather work with his hands.  Not all people do everything, and they can
survive without reading and discussing a novel.  It is my job as a teacher
to find what area a student excels in and help them gain skills in all
areas, not just push my love onto them.  I have a masters degree in reading
and love to teach math and music.  I am not critizing anyone for their zeal
of reading, I love to read as well.  But it isn't the only thing in the
world.
