Passed down through the family I guess. My Mum always read a lot (as did her mother, she was a frequent visitor to the library right up until her last couple of years) and we had bedtime stories read to us when we were kids. I have a rotten memory but one of the few things I do remember from when I was young was visiting the library and the joy at being able to get 3 books at the one time! So I've always read, right from being a youngster at primary school, through my teenage years and onwards. It was also an affordable form of entertainment back in those days when we couldn't afford all the toys and stuff kids get seem to get now!
