My Living Nightmare Of Encouraging Kids To Read Is Over

Levar Burton, in the Onion: “All I’ve done for 26 years is drive to work, clock in, read my lines, clock out, go home, and cry myself to sleep. Now I’m much older, a broken man, but I’ve reached the end of my terrifying journey. And do you know what’s at the end? Do you what’s at the end of the “Reading Rainbow”? A giant crock of shit, that’s what.

But you don’t have to take my word for it.”
