nobody directly encouraged me to read...my grandmother always got me a subscription to NattyG but I was pretty much a self motivated reader as long back as I can recall. Came from a family that claimed to value education but really never showed any indication of understanding what it was about or it's true cost and value. Might be why I was the only one with a degrees because it was never hard for me to learn...plus I had teachers who were always there to help and seemed to like that I wanted to learn anything I could.
