I am reading A Game of Thrones. I just finished the first book and am in that lovely place where you know you have plenty
of good book left, no need to panic. Some books you hate to leave...you miss the people or whatever it is you like about the story.
When I was in lower elementary, the county bookmobile came to our small town once a month during the summer. You were restricted to two books, and it didn't matter how hard I tried I couldn't make two books last that long. So, I read comic books, cereal boxes, and my cousin's 'True Romance' For a second grader I really got an education that summer.I must have known I shouldn't be reading those magazines because I remember sliding them under the couch.
At the risk of looking like a little pervert, the first books I rememer looking at were my mother's medical books. I especially liked the one on how babies are born. I was four at the time and my mother must have put them up because I had to keep looking for them. There were too many words and not enough pictures. One other observation ... no men were in any of the pictures, this was something ladies did by themselves.
I remember my mother medical book too. I too was fascinated by birth of a baby. As a child we are all interested in investigation of anything.
