i've been into books since i was a kid. i guess it helped that my parents were both bookworms. i read everything i could get my hands on back then, books by Ludlum, Robbins, King which my parents liked and i got to like even when i was elementary age. i even read Harlequin and Mills and Boon (?) when i couldn't get anything else. why the addiction to books? i dunno, still can't explain it. all i know is that i'm hooked. :)
