As a child there were no books in my house, and I was so hungry to read that I read my Mother's magazines, the newspaper, and even sauce labels. The biggest event in my young life was when they opened a library in the village. I remember the feeling of pure joy at being able to borrow books.
As a little boy delivering newspapers in the '40's I couldn't afford comics, (in the days when comics meant written stories) so read those I delivered and at the trot. I suspect that it was this is what made me a speed reader.
