Leland Ryken and Glenda Faye Mathes inspire a new generation to overcome the notion that reading is a duty and instead discover it as a delight.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Leland Ryken</strong> (PhD, University of Oregon) served as professor of English at Wheaton College for nearly fifty years.
