MormonTimes.com: Books fill Florida 5th-grader's life
He's read 15 million words and Book of Mormon 5 times
If you're going up against John Markham, probably not.
The 11-year-old member of the LDS Church in the DeLand Florida Stake loves to read. He reads one book after another after another about 15 million words since the fourth grade.
He's read so many books in Scholastic's "Reading Counts" program that he's got several trophies including two large ones in his house, plus letters from President Bush, President Clinton and Al Gore praising his reading.
