The obvious conclusion is that none of those in the joyless group would win the 'who reads most books in 6 weeks' contest, because as you pointed out, they read slower. So what difference would it make if the winner is Tyler, or his brother, or whoever came in third if everyone knows for sure that the slow readers have no chance of winning?

Well, in the article the call it "summer reading club", donīt they? Or I may be wrong and its the "Summer reading competition". If so, your absolutly right. However, if itīs a club it seems to me itīs more about participation. Still obviously the rules are making it a competition. I think that is stupid, you seem to think thatīs a good idea. I guess we just have to agree to disagree
