This is a link to a really interesting NY Times article. The short version is that LITERATURE MATTERS. Reading literary fiction (as opposed to popular fiction or non-fiction) increases empathy, social perception, and emotional intelligence. The article basically supports what I was saying in my previous post. I feel vindicated :-)
Now get out there and read some literary fiction!
