I can't remember when I started reading. My mother remembered me reading from the back of a cereal box when I was 4 after I had sat in on her K-5 classroom for a while. Since then, I've seldom been far from a book. Thanks to ebooks, I now look like less of a hoarder but I still have about 1500 or so hardcover science fiction/fantasy on my bookshelves in the basement and ghod alone knows how many paperbacks stored in boxes. When I add in the computer/networking related books and cookbooks, I could open a decent size if rather specialized library.
