If You're Not Letting Kids (And Yourself) Read For Pleasure, You're Messing With The Future Novelist Frank Cottrell Boyce: "Pleasure is a form of attention.

It's therefore a particularly open form of thinking that allows you to surprise yourself and the rest of humanity." The Observer (UK) 3/17/12
