I was in a car accident when I was eight years old and consequently out of school for several weeks. Since I was living with my Grandmother at the time, she had nothing for me to do. However, she had the Harvard Classics in her garage. I read Dante's Inferno, (Didn't understand much) but I was hooked. From there I went on to Grimm's fairy tales, etc. By the time I could go outside again, I was a bookworm. Went to the library and checked out the Boxcar Twins and never looked back.
My Childhood and Teen-hood were less than steller. I needed the escape books provided and now I read for enjoyment.
