This week’s musing asks…
Do the members of your family read? Do you think it was passed down to you? ((or, if you want you can answer this: Who do you think influenced you as a reader?))
My answer...
Honestly, I haven't a clue as to how I became such an avid reader. No one in my family is a big reader. I can't remember ever really being encouraged to do much reading when I was younger. I remember hating literature and English classes. I hated reading any of the assigned books. Somewhere down the line (in high school), I became a huge Harlequin reader and eventually I just branched out to read other lines and genres. I guess I just did it on my own.

I disliked literature classes all until college and loved them but still had a hard time reading what was scheduled.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you got into it, even if you did it on your own.

I wasn't too found out English classes either in school - I hated dissecting the books!
ReplyDeleteMy musing can be found here.
No clue either, neither my mum or dad reads. But my grandma did read romance novels
ReplyDeleteI do come from a family of readers and we always had lots of books around.

I used to read Harlequin a lot. Haven't read one in years though!

My parents were not big readers, but did have a large bookcase on our upstairs landing. Each night we would take a book, from the bookcase, to bed.

No one in my family while I was growing up was a big reader, so I don't know where it came from in me! Although I wasn't raised by my Mom as a kid, we are close now and she is an avid reader. Who knows--maybe it's in the genes! LOL
ReplyDeleteAs for my boys--I couldn't pay them to read a book!
