… Jericho Brown: Shouldn't I Be Reading Now? | The Reading Lists. (Hat tip, Rus Bowden.)

I remember getting to 100 pages in a textbook in the first grade.  It was something the whole class had to read together on a daily basis.  Obviously, I read something before then, but I don’t remember any of that.  I remember sitting in that feeling of accomplishment with about 30 other six-year-olds.  My whole life has been about trying to get to that feeling again.  I want to be a part of a community of readers who look to reading as a hopeful sign of growth, of maturity.
