Hi! Well, I'm not from abroad but I'm gonna answer anyway. :) I wasn't interested in learning to read before school, I couldn't be bothered. That only means that I had my mum reading me all these books that I loved. She used to read me the Bible (not because we are religious but because I decided I wanted to hear those stories) and Pocahontas. which she must have censored, I don't remember hearing about sex then. Yeah, so, I learnt to read in school, two or three weeks after starting. It felt like an accident really. I was reading my Alphabet book and then I just could read it through (and did). After that I read all the kids/YA books in our local library, almost at least. No Sweetvalley high, though. (But I read Anne of Green Gables when I was over twenty, so...) :D And I love books, the format. And book stores. I wish I had more time than just read my school books. And that I'd have a reading light here in H, too. It's kinda awful I can't read in bed here. I feel like you know the rest, at least like almost. :D So many classics that I can't even think to try now and so many things I think I've read way too young. (Hey, I only like Shakespeare's comedies...) All in all, I don't read enough nowadays. Or I wanna read more, but I wanna graduate, too. :)
