My mother was a reader and she always read us bedtime stories which I loved. I still remember my first time I read a word. It was "cat" from the Cat in the Hat. It was a revelation and I never looked back. Even early in grade school I was a voracious reader. We had a set of encyclopedias and I would take a volume and read the entire thing. The bookmobile which parked a block away let you check out as many as you could carry. I'd get a stack from my fingertips to my chin and have them all finished 3 weeks later when it came back.
