Wall Street Journal Says "Boys Should Read"

A fascinating Op-Ed was featured in The Wall Street Journal recently, written by Thomas Spence, who is the president of Spence Publishing Company, located in Dallas. It's quite interesting to read a somewhat secular perspective on the necessity of manly readership, the junk modern publishing houses churn out for their grossed audiences, and the role of video games and internet browsing in boys' lives. The item of most fascination to me was the statistics presented about the literacy gap between boys and girls and the one group it doesn't apply to: home-schoolers.
