Read, Reader, Reading

I think I'm pretty lucky. My parents read to me as a child. We had LOTS of books. My parents read a lot too - Newspapers, National Geographic, Reader's Digest, Books running a gamut of topics. My love for books and reading stemmed from this. About 2 years ago they were collecting books for the wounded/recovering soldiers at Camp LeJeune I donated about 200 of my own books - hardcover mostly. I felt like I was giving away my children but I knew it was for a good cause. I had read all of them and some several times. Knowing that others will gain some joy/escape makes me happy.
