Teach your young boys to read!

Parents, teach your young boys to read. Male authors were once little boys who loved to read, and they are becoming a huge minority.

The literary world needs more of Matheson's "I am Legend, King's "The Stand", Hemingway's "The Old Man and the Sea", any Jack Reacher story by Lee Child, and almost anything by the late, great Robert E. Parker. It needs far less trash like 50 Shades of Grey, and Twilight. Two series that would never have been published back in the day when merits and talent made your book famous, instead of the "well, all my friends are talking about it, so I have to read it too." Popularized and unoriginal smut has the country buzzing, and it's ridiculous that the majority of readers are so easily swayed into reading this swill instead of looking at the world outside of sparking vampires *sprarking? really? how did you sell a single copy?* and submissive women giving into the demands of stereotypical male pigs.
