Seems nothing but an excuse to take the piss out of him. Journalist seems an arsehole.

Never heard of him but I'm happy for him. The two biggest problems people have with reading is illiteracy, and of those who can read, a lack of interest, both of which I place much blame on the public schools for. Either way, I'm always thrilled when people can discover the joy of reading. Writing's something less of a joy because there's a lot more work involved, but definitely worth it.
