Part of the problem with literacy in the US (and, I suppose other countries) is that people make it the job of others to get their kids interested in it. Children mimic what their parents do. If they see you reading, if you read to them, they start to love it. If you're a parent who hates reading, then getting your child to do it is going to be an uphill battle...unless they have a great daycare provider or teacher who gets them there in spite of you.

It’s encouraging that James Patterson is still a good person in spite of his great success.
