Isn't it great to have the proof that book hoarding is a good idea? :D<br /><br />Hi Shannon<br />I'm glad your son caught the reading bug from you. My daughter is the one who seems to have been inoculated against reading. I live in hopes ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459671422564355990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673700697394236559.post-87518718490333337572011-06-07T23:29:11.217+01:002011-06-07T23:29:11.217+01:00Very interesting (and sad).

I will say, though, that my husband is not a reader, so that part is apt in our household. Happily, my son has caught the book bug from me, and I hope that continues.Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673700697394236559.post-49713369901372353642011-06-07T21:05:16.735+01:002011-06-07T21:05:16.735+01:00Fascinating!

My brothers and I shared books and I had a serious addiction to the library ;)<br /><br />Hi Jennifer<br />I indulged my passion for books on the pretext that they were for my son and daughter ;) <br /><br />Hi Ivy<br />I bought myself books too. I remember buying them at jumble sales etc when I was very young. I discovered Tarzan at a table top sale ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459671422564355990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673700697394236559.post-47029818247849386812011-06-07T17:56:53.798+01:002011-06-07T17:56:53.798+01:00Loved reading as a kid.

I agree that reading is very important to encourage lifelong learning. What better way to learn than to read?Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027229777663171623noreply@blogger.com
