In middle school, we called it D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything and Read!); you might have called it S.S.R. (Sustained Silent Reading) (which sounds super lame). Either way, it’s coming to the United Aran Emirates. And it’s coming for grown ups. On top…

A change is coming to the UAE, and it involves reading books at work.

Drop Everything and Read

Drop Everything and Read

Oh D.E.A.R.!

D.E.A.R. stands for “Drop Everything and Read“. This is a month-long celebration of reading designed to remind folks of all ages to make reading a priority activity in their lives. With declining literacy among children and adults, it is now more important than ever for reading to be encouraged and cherished as a worthy past time.

D.E.A.R. programs have been held nationwide on April…

"D.E.A.R. stands for “Drop Everything and Read,” a national month-long celebration of reading designed to remind folks of all ages to make reading a priority activity in their lives. Because, what’s more fun(damental) than reading, really?"

"It was like realizing that you've fallen out of love with someone. Each morning, I'd wake up, hoping to feel differently, thinking but, but, but...I used to love this place. I used to look forward to this. This used to be my life. Now I felt bad because I couldn't get excited about something that I once loved so much."

—Amy Thomas, Paris, My Sweet

Beautifully done! This brings back fond memories of elementary school when I had all the time in the world to read for leisure and one of my favorite parts of the school day was D.E.A.R. (Drop Everything and Read) time.

PS. It would be so cool to have a vintage bookstore in the future.
