I do not remember my mother reading to me. It does not mean she didn't, just that I do not remember. I still remember the first book I read in school. (Dick and Jane of course) After that I was hooked on reading. By the time I was 8 or 9 I was reading adult fiction ( mostly westerns and Scj Fi) along with the juvenile Sci Fi books in the library. My maternal grandfather and paternal uncle were voracious readers. One in Illinois and the other in Georgia. I was all over the place because my father was military. The three of us shared our books with me being the go between. I was always hauling boxes of books when we went visiting each year.
