I'd like to say I've read it, but you could find out very easily that  
I haven't.   I get talks on the topic, however.  ; -)

"These days, from time to time, the public libraries launch an effort  
to get children together with books, and signs bloom on their walls  
saying
Read to Succeed!  This seems singularly wrong-headed, since few seven-
year-olds care about their future job categories, or at least no  
seven year old you'd want to know.  The signs ought to say Books: The  
Way Out."
