I stumbled upon the text of author David McCullough's commencement speech to the 2008 graduates of Boston College today. It's all about READING! Being a Book Nerd, I was immediately drawn to it -- and let me tell you, it's really great! McCullough had some great things to say about reading and about learning. It's a quick and inspirational read that I encourage you to check out:

"Make the love of learning central to your life. What a difference it can mean. If your experience is anything like mine, the books that will mean the most to you, books that will change your life, are still to come. And remember, as someone said, even the oldest book is brand new for the reader who opens it for the first time."
