"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are
the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient
of teachers."
-Charles W. Eliot in

15 Minutes a Day
The average person reads 12 books in
a
lifetime. But by reading for just 15
minutes a day, you could read
that
many books in one year. Most people
read about 200 words per
minute, or
3,000 words in 15 minutes. There are
about 300 words to
a page, so that’s
10 pages. At that rate, you’ll read one
300 page
book in 30 days. One
book equals… well you get the picture!!!!
