Land of 10,000 Lakes

ctoro2 · 12-16-2011, 10:44 PM

Hello, I am Chris from Minnesota, land where it is always cold and always snows yet nobody knows where are.
I have have lived in the midwest my whole adult life, and here you have to read because sometimes it is absolutely to cold to do anything but curl up with a blanket and a good book, although now it is a nook.
I have 4 kids and I am thankful that all of them love to read. Our favorite thing to do before the electronic readers came out, was go to the library, leaving, each child carrying a bagful of books. On the way home I was always trying to convince them to put them down and not have them all read before we got home.

When we got home each child found their place on a chair or couch with their blanket and you would not hear a sound. So many times I would have to put down my book and just smile.
It will be nice to find people who have the love of reading like me but are finding out how nice or frustrating the new love of electronic reading is.

for having me.

Everyone who comes to this forum - the Introduce Yourself Forum - should read your post on how to do it right. This is a wonderful introduction!

I can't begin to tell you how frustrating it is for this Moderator when someone comes here for the first time and completely disregards the common courtesies that most people extend to other people and starts to demand solutions to some problem.

Thank you again for a great introduction in a forum called (here goes): The Introduce Yourself Forum.
