NOW THAT'S THINKING!

'Figures today show that unemployment is up to 2.4 million, the highest since 1995. And book sales are down and, they say, young people don’t read. SORT IT OUT: pay people to read. In public. Role models. Behind temporary barriers, so they’re not jostled or interrupted. Local booksellers and publishers can advertise on the barriers. Result: unemployment down, book sales up, and the whole country becomes more literate, imaginative and civilised.'
Two birds one stone sort of thing.

From a blog called sonofabook. I found the link on a blog that I visit quite often, Baroque in Hackney.
