extract on required reading

Can you please read this extract and see if it is OK? If you have any comments please let me know.

While recently reading a novel Summer with Aunt Doris, by Srecko Cuculic, the author from the town of Rijeka, I came across an interesting extract in which the hero, young man Joško, is talking to his good-looking elder neighbour with whom he is secretly in love.



(here is a quotation, on my post in grammar section)




I laughed quietly, too. To myself. With a pinch of bitterness. As a teacher, I have a guilty conscience about the fact that children are reluctant to read the required reading books. Are we, teachers, not partly responsible for indifference to a written word – but not only indifference of pupils, but of a society as a whole. There are few readers in Croatia!



THANK YOU
