For many of us, sneaking some time to read a good book is a guilty pleasure. And often we can link a particular book we read with a specific time in our past. In fact, for many, books have played an essential part in enriching and supporting us throughout our lives. Recently, Professor Paulette Rothbauer of Canada conducted a study which explored the value and meaning that seniors placed on reading. No surprise to those of us who are readers: the study revealed the memories, pleasures and support reading gives us, especially as we get older. So put down your current book and read more about her study Here. And get ready for a new PBS show about to air in May called The Great American Read. Hosted by Meredith Vieira, the show will take a look at the 100 best-loved novels in America, including an opportunity for you to vote for your favorite. Want to know how this list was compiled? Take a look Here and enjoy the show!
