Reply #4: As soon as I was taught to read anything, which was "Dick and Jane"

[northoftheborder]

by my Mother when I was 5, I was hooked on reading. I read everything, and anything that was in the house, and we always had plenty of books, plus school books, library books, grandparent's bookshelves. I enjoyed reading more than doing anything else. My first book, other than the European folk tales and nursery rhymes, that I fell in love with and read over and over and over, was "Little Women", and the other Alcott books.
