Reader’s Digest Files for Bankruptcy as Iconic Magazine Falters

[Burma Jones]

6. Way back in 1971, my cousin was released from a Texas Prison after about 2 years

After he got out, he moved in with us. I was 10, he was 21, we shared a bedroom. He told me a lot of interesting stories.

Anyway, I asked him what you did in Jail. He told me that they gave you two things to read, Readers Digest and the Bible. He told me he read the Bible three times because there was no way in hell he'd read Reader's Digest.

He was definitely no religious person. Later, he went through drug addiction, cleaned himself up, got a B.S in Computer Science, got a good job and was killed in a car crash a month before his wedding......
