I support cramming more reading in. I have to wonder, however, how many books were read, on a daily basis, to toddlers like Socrates, Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, and a whole host of others. Are the products of our more child-centered culture more impressive than those of the past? If some of the reports about the rise of narcissism amongst today's youth are accurate, they probably think so.
