Summary: Be careful of what you read because it will change you.
Review: A wealthy friend of mine turned me on to this book because it summarized his thoughts on reading. Everything we read changes our outlook on life. Burke Hedges talks about how reading changed his life and how it has changed the lives of hundreds of people like: Ophra Winfrey, J.W. Marriott, Wendy's Restaurant Owner - Dave Thomas and others. Learn more about the Readers & the Read Nots Vs. The Have's & Have Nots in Chapter 5. What we read is as important as reading itself. This is a book for those who want to learn how to read and change their life.

Summary: The title is an empty promise.
Review: I am all for reading. A reading advocate for all seasons. But this is a short book that can't even fill its short pages with any message more specific than: Reading Is Good Not Just Because Your Teacher Said So, But Because It Will Increase Your Chances Of Success In Life. Really! What a suprise! If you don't already know that, you ain't gonna be reachin' for this book in the first place. P.S. I was hoping to, and still hope to, find a book linking certain books/magazines and certain reading habits with certain successful people, so as to draw conclusions as to the best things to read and the best reading habits to have if you want to "B" "E" "Successful" (or at least to pretend you have a chance).

Summary: Good "No-Holds Barred" approach to why one needs to read
Review: The author talks about the importance of reading, and how it differs from simply watching TV or listening to the radio. Straight forward approach, with individual human examples, of how a person's life can change for the better by reading. There is also an interesting comparison (that may even be eye-opening) between the people who choose to read and the people who know how to read and choose not to.
