Anonymous Patron writes The Nation, that’s in Bangkok,Thailand, has a Call for a reading renaissance. Classic literature should be revived and published to stimulate reading among youngsters and reverse the trend of Thais shying away from books as a form of entertainment, HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn said yesterday. The Princess expressed her concerns about Thai reading habits yesterday as she graciously presided over the opening of the 10th annual BookExpo at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre.”
