it's not life that matters but the journey...

Well my parents both love to read and my dad is a music lover. So reading was always presented to us as something fun and entertaining. Every Saturday after cartoons and chores, my Mom would walk with us to the library and we would all get our books for the week. I would always be so excited to get home and read my new books. I remember the very first time I was able to check an Agatha Christie book out of the adult section. I felt so grown up, because my Mom read her too. I think I was about 11. LOL Books were big with us. I still remember the first book I bought with my own allowance. I was 5 and it was The Runaway Bunny :) Every child should be given the gift of books. There are few things in life more powerful than the pleasure of reading. /book geek
