My 1st book

jocampo · 03-05-2012, 12:06 PM

Found this yesterday at home, while relaxing and reading at my office

Is a latin book, of course. Its name is "Zoro".

The few words are an affectionate message from my dad.

It was my 1st book (not textbook or school I mean) 30 years ago, I was about 7 or 8 I believe ...

Your father is mean! Giving you a Latin book at that age... Most parents would give their children a children's book they could actually read

Hahahaha ...

Actually, was a smart guy! I also read a bunch of comics at that age. At some point, I had over of 500 comics. But "Zoro" is a children's book, easy to understand.

At 4 or 5, I was reading almost perfectly, very fluid!

He was a lawyer / judge, by the way.

Maybe I need more coffee this morning! ;-)

I do not understand your comment, or should I say, your point ...
