PUPILS are reading books that are “too easy” (The Press, February 23).

Is it because there is so much technology that the young spend so much time on their iPhones etc that reading books is just not of any importance any more?

I learned to love books when very young.

My older sister would read to us from Charles Dickens and other authors of his kind.

By the time I was 13 I was not just reading the popular books and mags for that age group, but also had the Bronte books and a Jane Austen book on my shelf.

There is nothing better than having a good book to read. Far better than Facebook, Twitter and all that kind of stuff.
