Rachel and Theresa both made interesting and thought-provoking responses and I found it fascinating to read if others reading histories and preferences - its almost as if there is such a thing as our "reading personality"! It also makes me realise that the reasons why someone reads and/or how they respond to a book can be as interesting as the reason why the author has written. Anyway, for such a good start to it, my day would like to say thanks.

Last year, when I did a My Life in Books series, a few other people said they read it over a cup of tea - and it is such a wonderful image.<br /><br />I had a similarly lucky childhood, bookswise, even if buying books wasn't as high a priority as using the library. Having said that, people who've answered My Life in Books often seem to have reacted against fairly unbookish parents. Either path leads to bibliomania, it seems!StuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-86071099845757359522012-03-05T22:21:11.030+00:002012-03-05T22:21:11.030+00:00Haha, thanks Mum!
