Dana Gioia, Chairman of the NEA, is starting a new program called “The Big Read.” Read about it here. (In a not-so-favorable article.)

Personally I think he’d be so much more admirable if he started “The Free Reed.”

Of course they’d have to be good reeds (and good reads are so much easier to come by), but I’m sure if he put some effort into it he’d figure out how to do it. You know? 😉
