My having too many books, or reading too much was a bone of contention in our house (up until 2 weeks ago).

I'm an avid reader, too! I began reading at a really young age, and haven't stopped since. My Dad has said that I was the most boring little kid. He'd really want to play with me & I'd just sit quietly in the corner reading my Peanuts books endlessly. Then, came my Disney-book-of-the-month club. (you find out I just joined last week. )

I used to sneak a flashlight into bed with me when I was little so that I could read books in the middle of the night.

Now I'm a magazine freak. I live for three words: new magazine Friday. My ritual is this: every Friday night, my boyfriend takes me to the newsstand, I buy scads of magazines, and then we pick up dinner & a movie and settle in for the evening. My poor sweetie. He'll try to get my attention & have me watch the movie but all I can do is think of my new magazines. In the middle of the night, when he's sleeping, I still sneak the low light on & read. Some things never change.
