[LM_NET] Share: What is literacy?

[Juliann Moskowitz <juliann14@HOTMAIL.COM>]

There was a fascinating article in the NY Times magazine this weekend about 
literacy and the visually impaired. Although the article talks about how few 
visually impaired people now use braille, and therefore are technically illiterate, 
the concept of literacy is something that can be argued  for everyone now, with 
audiobooks, text readers etc. Good food for thought.....

A great book should leave you with many experiences, and slightly
exhausted at the end. You live several lives while reading it. -William
Styron, novelist (1925-2006)
