I read a book a month, and would only read more if I didn't like to make them last as long as possible! I live with my nine year old son in the uk and have raised him to love books too. I miss reading to him these days because he likes to bury himself in the world of words without disturbance.
One day I'll have a bigger house and dedicate a room to books, maybe with a chair in a bright window, a private library.
