This past summer, a young black woman stood in line about three or four people ahead of me, outside the Trader Joe's supermarket on Columbus Avenue, near 93rd Street, in Manhattan. She carried a canvas tote bag that was printed on the side with this message: "Reading Can Seriously Damage Your Ignorance." In the center of the words was a drawing of an open book.
Being a book lover, the message struck a chord with me. I thought it was a wonderful way to promote the reading of books and to celebrate the life of the mind.
