I started reading before I really even knew what reading was. Or something like that. Some of my favorite books - ones that won't be released - are classic children's books from when I was three and four. By the time I was seven, I'd finished the entire
Little House... series, and the unabridged version of Little Women.
By the time I was nine, it was normal for me to have stacks of books near my bed, near my seat at the table, and, of course, in the bathroom. (Actually, bathroom reading was prescribed to me by a doctor, once, but that's far too personal a tale for this place). My mother says that she used to find me asleep with the light on and a book folded open on my chest at three in the morning, when I was a kid (my husband says this still happens) and I know I've broken the straps on my backpacks and bookbags more than once from overstuffing them.
These days, with work and a house and all, I usually finish 10-20 books a month. Not bad, for someone who does most of her reading in the bathroom - still. (And everyone wondered why I inisted the toilets in our new house had poofy seats).
