Part of raising a child includes ensuring they’re educated or at least making sure they’re evaluating and understading what they’re learning in school. For the life of me I can’t understand why some parents are okay with saying “My son or daughter will not read this or that, but they’ll read the latest issue of [...]

We have plenty to worry about, with the prospect of industrial spies snooping into our email, hackers, disgruntled employees and other vigilantes who want to know what we’re up to.

Callapidder Days Fall into Reading challenge is over. When it started back in September, the leaves were changing, and now -- right now -- we're in the midst of a snowstorm, so I guess there's no doubt that it's winter, right?

My library is not one of those modern well-catalogued libraries where you can search for your books on a computer and then find the exact rack where you will locate it.

The real reason for the unforgivable length of time with which I plodded through Gustave Flaubert’s Madame Bovary was the unbearably small size of the texts of my Wordsworth Classics edition of the book.

How fond are you of reading? Ask anyone and the answer would be: “I am too fond of reading”. It's said about classics that they are those types of book which nobody reads but everyone wants to have read. Reading is a habit not too many people indulge in but those who do are thrilled by this passive adventure.Novel reading is an art. Not only is it a means to empower oneself, it is also a chanc

As we all know, the holidays can be stressful. My personal strategy for dealing with the stresses of traveling, buying presents, preparing for guests and making nice with family members is to not do any of those things. This doesn't mean, however, that I am free of stress during the holidays. For me, the main cause of stress is people who insist on asking me what it is that I'm reading.What-are

Noel Hunt scored twice as Reading tightened their grip on third place in the Championship by beating Coventry. The Royals had to come from behind after Daniel Fox flighted a free-kick over the wall and into the top corner. The unfortunate Fox played a part in Reading's equaliser when Hunt's header hit the Coventry player and looped in. Just before the break Kalifa Cisse sidefooted Reading ahea

It must be technically sound as to the methods of murder and detection. It must be realistic in character, setting and atmosphere. It must be about real people in a real world.
