"Reading is more than just a pastime, it is the secret to success. This is the idea that educator and avid reader Stan Skrabut explores in his book Read to Succeed. Besides describing his own personal love of reading, Stan looks to the past revealing that successful people valued reading as more than just a way of passing the time. Indeed, as anyone who dives into this book, will learn, there are lessons to be learned from every book, and thus making time to read is a necessity, even in today’s media-driven world.In Read to Succeed, Stan Skrabut does more than just describe his own personal love of reading.
He dives into the past, examining how successful people read and detailing the reading lives of an array of American leaders including Benjamin Franklin, Barack Obama, and George S. Patton. He also takes on the complaint, 'I don’t have time to read' by exploring ways to navigate life schedules and methods of approaching the written word including eBook readers and audiobooks. A must-read for book lovers, but more importantly, for those of us who need to convince the rest of the world to become fellow book lovers!" - Karen J. Weyant, Associate Professor of English Jamestown Community College
