Why do we have to read books?

-Looking at the process and evaluating the importance of reading

-My own work: How can authors make the book object important again?




! Students will not make books in school (there are exceptions).  And how many teachers have written a book?  Therefore, if we value books (or any form) we must communicate this to our students.  


? What happens when we read a book?  How is this unique only to this form?  (Scott McCloud addresses similar questions in Understanding Comics, and may serve as example.)

  1. I would add another question to accompany this one: Why do people buy books?
