In my family, book was a kind of religion: my grandparents were teachers, my mom worked as a librarian, my dad worked as a high-school literature teacher, my aunt the same, so everybody pushed me towards the books
.
My father's library is huge (currently more than 5000 titles) and with mom working in a library, it wasn't difficult to find the interesting things to read.
I started reading at the age of three and was always very fast reader. Until the age of probably 10 or 12, I've read a lot more books than an average person in a whole life. In high school I read also a lot. Then, I went to the university (languages and literature), so it's normal I read a lot. After that, I started working (and learning IT) and stopped reading for pleasure for several decades.
Finally, two months ago I bought my reader and found the same pleasure in reading as when I was a kid. So far, I've read 17 novels since May 31. I'm back on the track!
