I READ PART OF THE BOOK ALL THE WAY THROUGH*

A New York Times headline read, "fewer noses stuck in books in america." "reading is in decline among all groups, in every religion, at every educational level, and within every ethnic group" says dana gioia.

I'm a firm believer that reading humor is an effective way to remove stress. laughter relaxes tense muscles and brings more " zoyershtof" (oxygen) into our system. it even lowers blood pressure.
