Editor,

Pease, allow me to express appreciation of your column, THE BIG READ. I think this is a perfect way of introducing diverse literature as well as historical personalities that many of the younger generation might never have heard of. This is a brilliant way of encouraging youngsters as well as adults to read.

I remember as a youngster when we used to take pride reading about authors far away from our shores hence making us very worldly wise. I hope you will expand this as a column and ask for recommendations as well from the public. From this innovation of yours and your team, it is a win win for all. Once more, thanks for sharing.
