[MonkeyScribe]

The author lamented the fact that books no longer occupy a central place in children's lives, as they did when she was young.

"Are they reading less today? I have a nasty feeling they are," she said.

I have to agree with her, I'm afraid. It's probably a big reason why so many kids are practically illiterate today.

Well, they're certainly reading less of her work.
