Musing Mondays - Early Reading

Labels:



Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about early reading…

Do you remember how you developed a love for reading? Was it from a particular person, or person(s)? Do you remember any books that you read, or were read to you, as a young child? (question courtesy of Diane)

My answer...

Mmmm...I only have a couple of memories of reading when I was younger. One was reading a fictional book about a witch. My mom got it for me from the library because I was home sick and she wanted to give me something to do. I remember loving the book and when I got better I asked the librarian if I could buy it, but she said no. Even back then I had to own all my books. LOL

The only other memory I have is reading Harlequins when I was a teenager. That, of course, carried over to adulthood.

No one in my family was as much of a reader as I was. I think I just enjoy the escapism of reading...getting away from real life for a few hours and burying myself in a fictional world. I think I just found my love of reading on my own.

    I was kind of surprised by your comment, "...reading Harlequins when I was a teenager," but then I remembered that I went on a V.C. Andrews kick which is essentially equivalent, right?

    And I used to read Mills And Boons like crazy! My school friends remember me thus!

    That asthma had confined me indoor helped cultivate my passion for reading.

    I learned to read in nursing school, sent home with these pictorial books with easy characters, both in English and Chinese. My family does a decent amount of reading, but nothing like the kind of back-to-back reading that I do! :)

    I don't really have too many specific memories of my early reading years either. In my case though, both of my parents were avid readers and so it seemed natural that I would end up a reader too.

    Did the librarian tell you how you could own the book? Maybe its really all her fault! LOL
