Like others, I can't remember not being a reader. My Mum would read to me and she got me reading on my own before I started school. First library card at 5, and I had consumed the entire Children's Library in my home town before I reached age 12. My father gave me his library card so I could have access to the Adult Library, and I was reading my Mum's adult books as well. My reading was almost obsessive. Until computers. I fell off the reading wagon for some years after I discovered "adventure games" in text format, but later, a Casseiopia E500 and .lit books to take on night shift got me going again. I dont read as voraciously as I did when young, but I do so enjoy it. I love being transported to other places, other lives, other times... theres nothing like it.
