Remember when that was "big time" reading and you wore a big grin on your face for mastering those lines? I think each of us can share a "Dr. Seuss moment of reading happiness."

We are running a poll on FaithfulReader.com asking how many of you plan to see "The Passion of The Christ." Please click the link below to let us know what you think.
