The website, What Book Got You Hooked? is a site aimed at promoting reading in youngsters. Thousands of people, including a hand full of celebrities, have offered what book got them hooked on reading and the reasons why, to help encourage youngsters to keep turning the pages. You can go to the site and share your story and while you're there, please vote on which state you believe should be the recipient of 50,000 books...once the votes are tallied, the winning state will receive the books for children in need.Kenny Chesney says the book that got him hooked on reading was The Old Man And The Sea by Ernest Hemingway...the book, Kenny says, reminded him of his relationship with his grandfather. Kenny keeps a copy of the book on his boat and can often be found reading Hemingway while he's sailing the seas during his time off the road.
