Reading is as important to me as breathing, books have been my friends, my window to the world, my source of comfort and my inspiration. It's nice to read about someone who loves them that much too! It sounds like you made an amazing effort to continue your education, and you did it... something you will always have to remind yourself that you CAN! Yes indeed, how very richly God has blessed us!Josie Two Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388032819905416258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23596464.post-65390758832960673552013-09-02T05:01:25.226+01:002013-09-02T05:01:25.226+01:00Wonderful list!

I really enjoyed the image of you on the stool, reading to the class when the teacher stepped out.<br />I was an early reader, too, and haven't put books down since then.<br />The one thing I get all worked up about is when parents worry so much about teaching their kids HOW to read, they forget to teach their kids to WANT to read. They take all the fun out of reading, and the kid turns away from it. I've scolded more than one person for doing it. (A few readers may not be surprised about this. cough Lizzi cough)<br />I am so, so glad all six of my kids love reading. It's something they will appreciate their entire lives.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23596464.post-44651510042927645682013-09-02T02:18:47.666+01:002013-09-02T02:18:47.666+01:00Reading is a major gateway to learning.

I struggled at first, but with my mom's help that is when my reading took off and soared. So,I could very much relate to that part here, because my mom was the one that really got me into reading and helped me so also. Thanks for sharing and hoping you are have a great weekend now!!Janine Huldiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226958154244023407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23596464.post-741623487119400382013-09-01T12:57:03.062+01:002013-09-01T12:57:03.062+01:00quite possibly my favorite list... books ....brill...quite possibly my favorite list... books ....brilliant! Besides Skip they are my favorite things in life! I am in such agreement with you there! I have my parents old copy of the Bible that I had repaired ( after so many kids it had many torn and used sheets ) and restored for their 50th anniversary... it is the most beautiful book with onion paper and classical paintings for illustrations....They had received it for their wedding.

I love the way you describe your relationship with books, and the image of you perched on your teacher's desk, reading to the class, is a gorgeous one.<br /><br />Congratulations on getting your degree. Sounds like you had quite the challenge getting there, but kudos on the perseverence to achieve it. That must've felt awesome. <br /><br />I have a foundation degree and feel bad about it because I'm an academic snob and want a full one.<br /><br />BUT<br /><br />I'm so glad I have the internet to connect me with such people as yourself and all the other wonderful people here, and to provide me with a platform to write and read and have so much fun with words.<br /><br />I totally know what you mean about the awesomeness of book heritage. I get chills reading Homer, to think that throughout two thousand years, people have read these words and felt the same way at his prose as I do. It's mind-blowing.<br /><br />I don't read enough of your #10. I need to.Lizzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480448062269641320noreply@blogger.com
