The funny thing is, colleges cater to undergraduate studens on so many levels socially, it has always puzzled me as to why leisure reading is seen (if indeed it is, though I perceive it to be) as sort of , oh I don't know, anti-intellectual. Heaven forbid a biology major wants to read Ann Rice or Stephen King. There goes medical school!

So, to start the discussion off--what do you find to be the biggest challenges to reading promotion in colleges--and how do you tackle them?
