I started reading when I hit first grade. I was quiet and into my books. They were different each book I read. It fascinated me. I was a reader after that. My parents didn't understand where reading came from since no one in my house read. I enjoyed it and still do. I have read hundreds of books. I can't tell you them all and I can't tell you what they changed in my heart of hearts, but that's okay. I still read and plan to read for years to come. Even when I'm old and in a rocking chair. Even when I can't hold a book anymore. I will have someone read them to me. They give me a thrill. To go into another life even if it's fiction is the best place to be when life gets hard. It gives you explanations that you can't even understand until time unravels them.
