New York Times; Carla Hayden: By the Book
"Which book would you wish all Americans would read? And which book would you want all American schoolchildren to read?
I just want people to read, so I have never been prescriptive about it. But I do think “A History of Reading,” by Alberto Manguel, includes a specific chapter that is so important. It is about forbidden reading, and talks about what happens when reading is suppressed. Everyone should understand that reading is not something to take for granted."
