Here is passage about my reading habits in 3rd grade. When did reading strike a chord with you, and in what ways did you use reading? Escape? Entertainment? Learning? I loved reading so much that I wanted to be a book. Isn't that strange? Since my book is my work, I am figuratively speaking of course, a walking book! ***Shortly after Thanksgiving, my mother was sick for several weeks with phlebitis, an inflammation of the veins in her legs. Blood clots could form if she stood for too long, so the doctor prescribed pills and bed rest. After school, after chores, I read Nancy Drew mysteries, two or three in a row. When I finished with those, I borrowed Eric’s Hardy Boys adventures. No amount of reading could quench the thirst I had for my mother’s company.***What did you read as a child? What do you read now?
