I still carry a book with me every where I go. If I am eating alone at a restaurant, I read while I eat. I would rather read than watch TV or Movies.

I started with comics, then those damn Barbara Cartland virgin novels
and on to Johanna Lindsey, Star Trek novels and Dune. Shakespear was easy for me and Lord of the Flies upset me so much I was a mess for a week. My problem was not that I had to read boring stuff in school but that I finished in a few days when the class only did a chapter a day. I can't read a chapter a day and in some cases a chapter a week. Who can stay interested in something while reading so slowly?
I never cared what people thought about my constant reading when I was a kid
, I don't care now.
