besides: WHO READS THESE DAYS!! |
I read every night even if I go to bed at 3am and have to be up at 6am I will still read for a bit! (but not the bible). Most nights I would read for about 45 minutes before I go to sleep. |
Browsing nudy pics doesn't count as "reading", Ken  
Out of curiosity, what's your subject matter? Or are you a fiction man? |
Fiction mainly but I do read a few Autobiographies. I also read sports books.
I will read Julia Gillards book. Some of the authors I read are: Iggulden, Manfredi, Baldacci just to name a few. |
Good stuff. I haven't read a novel in way too long. It's one of those things that takes serious disciplined focus to get back into. My mum is a novel machine and has no doubt read some of those authors you mention.
Mind you, the academic articles I read certainly have their own share of fiction in them!

I probably read between 40 - 50 books a year, my whole family is the same!

Dear god don't rob that poor bairn of Father Christmas and the tooth fairy. Plenty of time for reality bites later! |
It just seems to set a bad precedent, in my view. If I want to raise my child with the view that telling the truth is important, how can I justify lying to them about something like that?
I want him to enjoy having an imagination, of course, and to enjoy reading and creating fiction, but there's a difference between that and allowing him to sincerely believe that an imaginary character actually exists. Particularly one that can magically see if you've been good or bad. It's a bit creepy and superstitious.

I recommend starting a trust fund now to pay for the kids therapy sessions when he's adult.
