5 Reasons Why You SHOULDN'T Read The Encyclopedia

5 Reasons Why You SHOULDN'T Read The Encyclopedia:
1) While carrying it you might drop it on your foot and break a bone
2) Producing a book like that requires a lot of paper, and aren't people nowadays hung up about saving trees? 
3) You will fill your head with disturbing knowledge. Trust me. Ignorance is bliss.
4) You will waste your precious time reading such a long book. You could have spent that time on Facebook or something.
5) Why waste your brain space with useless and stupid facts? 
Convinced? Post your views and comments!

This is your father. I understand your reasons. Nevertheless, I am buying an entire set of Encylopedia Brittanica and will make you read it cover to cover anyway.

From Auntie Jen,

5 Reasons why you SHOULD read the encyclopaedia

1) If you do drop it on your foot you can turn to the section on 'Fractures' and learn all about which book you have broken and how to set the fracture.
2) Encyclopaedia Britannica is now online so wont need to chop down any trees for this. If you check the section on 'Trees' you will read all about how to save them and the planet
3) You can fill you head with 'life saving knowledge' i.e check out the section on 'Medical Emergencies' and you will learn how to administer 'CPR'. you will need to read the encyclopaedia to find out what this means :)
4) Its a reference book. when we have a question about something it means we can look it up and not necessarily rely on 'other people's opinions' but can come to our own conclusions about things we are interested in.
5) Facts which may seem irrelevant can become very interesting and informative when we ask a specific question. i.e what is the legal age for driving when i can take my dad's bentley for a spin.
