Late last night I was thinking about a recent statistic I heard about how approximately 90% of the general public in America don’t read on a regular basis, and if you don’t count fiction books the number is even more shocking.
Well folks, I think I’ve come up with a pretty good simple solution that’s sure to decrease the number of non-readers and significantly increase the number of readers in a relatively short period of time. Would you like to hear it? Ok, I’m going to assume you said “Yes”. So here it is. Drumroll please………..
Make reading non-fiction books outside of an educational institution illegal!!!
Give it some thought. If reading was “illegal”, like at one time it used to be for certain people who were considered inferior or lower class, people would beg, borrow, steal and kill for the opportunity to do it. The mere act of barring someone from engaging in such an activity would eventually make others think that there must be something pretty good in these books that’s attempting to be concealed.
Well, SURPRISE! There is something that’s NOT just pretty good in many non-fiction books out there, there’s something GREAT! So, now you’ve been officially put-on-notice that there’s something special in those pages of the books of the world, but you have to open-up one or two or twenty-two to find out for yourself.
Oh, and if you commit to intentionally engage in this act on a regular basis, don’t be surprised if you eventually find yourself separating from the rest in mind, body and spirit and Making it GREAT! Just a thought, so don’t plot to kill the messenger today please because he loves ya. 😉
