The Power of Good Literature

Posted: February 19th, 2012 | Author: | Filed under: Uncategorized | No Comments »

How has reading changed your life? Does it steer you down paths you never thought you’d take, make you think, or change your point of view about the world? I’d have to answer yes to all of these questions as reading has long played a critical role in my life and opened up my mind in too many ways to count. That’s why I think this article is so interesting; a judge in the USA on occasion asks those he sentences to jail time to not only read Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables but to write a report on it – all in hopes of making them think about their life choices. Kind of cool, don’t you agree? :)
