Personally I am not really a big fan of literature, but I do appreciate and admire it from the bottom of my heart. Both my father and grandfather were crazy readers and they had interest in all kinds of literary work , especially my grandfather. I never realized how beautiful and fun reading was until I graduated from high school. After a week of my high school graduation, I was on a flight from D.C. to Kabul Afghanistan, to visit my mother and my little brother. It takes 30 hours of constant flight to get to Kabul, now imagine being on the air for that long, and nothing else to do. My seat mate was an old man who was on his way to make some money in the Arab money spring somewhere in the United Arab Emirates. I am saying this because he looked like a businessman. We did not speak at all this whole flight. I was bored to death, so I  decided to look for soemthing fun, eventually I found this magazine titled the "Paris Review", I started reading short stories, poems and so on. Long story short, I really understood the benefit of reading on that flight and it will always be a life long memory because it got me addicted to reading, more specifically literature. Now I read the Washington Post, the New York Times daily or at least four times a week. I also follow the http://www.theparisreview.org/ website for reading short stories and some other literary work. I recommend this site for those of you who have interest in reading, because it has lots of good stuff for reading.
