i love reading and i really do escape to a different world
I cried the first day of kindergarden because I couldn't read and I refused (yes at five years old) to go back until I knew how to read. Between my mom and my 11 year old brother I learned in 3 days. My first book was about a boy who had special powers. unbelievably Unbelievably I don't remember the name of the book but I have been reading a book ever since then. I chose my next book before I finish the current and have done this non-stop , without one single break, for over 40 years. I will read anything... the ingrediants on food boxes. the labels on containers. I read the entire set of encyclopedias when I was nine years old. People who knew me thought I actually lived in the building that had a second-hand book store on the bottom floor... I would go on (there's lots more) but I think you get the point... I LOVE TO READ! Why? I don't know....
Too Funny! I came home from my first day of kindergarten and said "And I didn't even learn to read!" Reading is fantastic! I would pick a book over TV most any day. I, too, read one book after the other. If I go a day without starting a new book, it drives me crazy!
Hi Karen,
Do you find that the more you read the more discriminate you become? It saddens me to know that so many books I read when I was younger (and enjoyed)I probably wouldn't give the time of day now. Now, I seem to read with a certain amount of scepticism and am much more impatient with a book than I've been in the past. Now for every ten books I read, I will not finish at least two and only really enjoy one or two. So much harder to please now... :-(
I definitely try to pick books that interest me but very rarely don't finish one. My husband laughs at me because I will read a book that I don't like thinking that it has to get better and I might miss something.
