Re: Quote - reading as a varsity sport?

Hi: I'm one of the people who use that quote on my emails. I wish I
could claim I thought it up, but I didn't. I can't recall where I first
heard it, so if anyone knows the origin, please let us all know so I can
give credit where it's due! Thank you.

Subject: Quote - reading as a varsity sport?

I have seen a quote that has something to do with "reading as a varsity
sport" - or "if reading was a varsity sport" etc.  I can't find it on
the net.  Next week is Homecoming week, and Tuesday is "wear a Pro

it.  Can anyone help?
