Yes. I’ve always read. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t read. I love reading.
I think it’s genetic. Apparently, my mother loved to read. My aunt has told me they would often find her hiding under the bed reading a book when she didn’t want to do whatever she was supposed to be doing.
My husband was caught reading a novel in class at school. Because the teacher determined the book he was reading was a quality book, he was told it was fine for him to continue. I have no idea what the class was. Perhaps it was English. He still reads. He tends to go through phases though. He’ll read a few books, and then won’t have a book on the go for a while, then he’ll get back into reading again.
All my children were strong readers. However, while my son could read at an early age, he has never been the sort of person who does read. He would flip through certain books – books of amazing facts, the Guinness Book of Records and the like. He read all the Harry Potter books. He isn’t a ‘reader’ though. He’d rather be off doing other more active things. My daughters don’t read books often either. I bought them both Kindles and they did use them, but I don’t think they always have a book on the go.
