Task

WHY READ??

 

You've heard all the reasons to read:  "Reading can take you places"  "Reading opens doors"  "Reading is the key to learning" and even "Keep Calm and Read a book" 

 

But exactly why do you think you should read and what is it you should be reading?  What do you like to read and what don't you like to read? This brief task is an exercise for you to think about why reading is important.  You will do this by exploring the links on this page.  After you think a little about why you should read, explore the books on the online Destiny library catalog.  The goal is to create a list of books that you would like to read and recommend a book you have read to your fellow students.
