What do you read to her? I love to read and hope my son will also but even if he doesn’t I like to read to him too. Happy Mother’s Day!

Though they are all in college, my four nephews and nieces (ages 18-22) don't read much; none is what you might call "bookish". I wonder what this means? I certainly don't have a comprehensive answer, but one thing that comes to mind is that novels are exceptionally good at representing paradoxes and contradictions, and the way tragic forces shape life. Do my young relatives need complex representations of reality? Can they do without all this stuff? Time will tell. I wonder.
