Stephen Downes

This is an honest post from Audrey Watters exploring the following question: "It sure seems that as long as we’ve believed everyone should read, we’ve fretted that everyone doesn’t (or at least The Atlantic sure has worried) -- they don’t read enough, and even if they do, they don’t read the right kinds of material." I say 'honest' because she says this: "It's not that I don't worry about reading... I do. I worry because I love reading... And I love reading because without it, I could not write and I could not think. Not well. Not clearly. Not intelligently."
