It is disappointing that Chicago is not on this list...

…of America’s top 10 literate cities. I propose using the hashtag #ChicagoReads to profess our love of reading and our fine city!

Join in by proclaiming your love of literature, posting a picture of your favorite dog-eared book, or simply conversing with us about what you are currently reading @openbookstore!
