I love reading for the stories. I have to be careful when editing ebooks so that I do not read too much of the book text or I get sucked into the story and stop editing.

I had a library card when I was about nine but forgot to take them back and had a big fine to pay (2 shillings about 24 us cents). I palled up with a lad at school a few months later who was a bookworm. It inspired me to save my pocket money until I could pay the fine and redeem my library card. Then having a friend/rival in the reading stakes I really started to get through some books and never really stopped.
