As I was helping my wife check out her purchases at Robinsons East supermarket the bag boy saw my copy of the novel "American Gods" by Neil Gaiman. "Maganda ho iyan", sabi niya. "Nabasa ko ho ang kopya ng Tita ko, galing sa Italy." "Salamat", ang sagot ko."Simula pa lang nag-eenjoy na ako."
On our way out, my daughter, an avid reader herself, remarked that if we can get more people to read, and to enjoy reading, then the Pinoy might still amount to something. The trouble with us is that we do not read. We enjoy watching soap operas on TV, or pirated DVDs, but we do not read. How many of us, before posting a trivial question on this list, bother to check out and read the FAQs and HOWTOs first? It is so much easier to just post it here, where everyone is so generous with his talent, so why bother to read? Let us make of ourselves a better nation. Let us read!
