I was thinking about how little I know about you folks who follow my weekly quiz. Then again, you don’t know that much about me, either. For example, I have a master’s degree with a specialization in reading disability (NYU didn’t offer one in being a quizmaster). I mention this because I frequently remind parents and grandparents how important it is to read to — and with — the children in their lives. This is why I love the Book Buddy program, which is part of the Chicago Sun-Times Charity Trust (read more at https://charitytrust.suntimes.com/chicago-reads-program). I’m going to be contributing to it, and I hope you will, too. On that note, with the legendary Bob Ryan of ESPN, I’ve got a new book out: ‘‘In Scoring Position: 40 Years of a Baseball Love Affair.’’ My publisher, Triumph Books, which is located in the heart of Chicago, will be making some of their age-appropriate books available to the program, as well. Good folks.
So read a book, share some books and help the kids of Chicago.
