Skinnny Mao Says:
First, I must say I am impressed. It isn't everybody that combines a trip to
the library and a drunken orgy at the local tavern in one enjoyable evening.
My adivce would be to flee the country. Don't go home first, or contact any
relatives. Thats how they get ya. Hitchike to Mexico or Canada, whichever
is closer. Don't give anyone your real name, just tell everyone to call you
"Captain" or something like that. And wahtever you do, beware the cyborgs,
they're everywhere.
The Sleepwalker Says:
Each year, on campuses throughout our country, binge reading causes numerous student deaths, thousands more injuries, and a host of other problems. People who read more than once a week
constitute almost one-fourth of all students and account for more than three-fifths of serious book-related incidents on campuses. Yet, incredibly, some students, administrators, and policymakers continue
to deny the significance-or even the existence-of the binge reading that frequently occurs at colleges and universities.
That denial takes many forms, most recently as a debate about the term ''binge reading'' and how to measure it.
At the Harvard School of Public Health College Reading Study, an ongoing survey of about 14,000 students,
we have defined binge reading as five or more chapters in a row for men, four or more for women. Our definition has
become a widely used measure; the U.S. surgeon general, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the
National Institute on Book Abuse all apply a five-chapter standard.
