You should read. Right now. I'm sure you haven't read anything that wasn't assigned or required in quite some time, but it's Sunday and it's summer so you're running out of excuses. Don't fret, we can start small. How about you re-read that classic you always loved in high school (which I'm sure was Catcher in the Rye or The Great Gatsby). Or how about a couple short stories*. Or maybe that book I bought/lent you years/months ago that you promised to read but didn't. I'm not asking you to go pick up and analyse House of Leaves, but I think you should read.
