When I was 6 years old I came home from the first day of school and told my father that I had learned to write, not print, my name. He immediately took me to the local library and watched me write my name on my library card. Then he picked me up, swung me around the room, pointed to all the shelves and said, “See these books. Now all of them are yours to read.” It was my most memorable childhood experience. Now I try to inculcate the love of reading to my students and family members. Reading is the only avenue to every art and science past, present, and future. Thank you for your wonderful blog.

I could hear your voice while reading this. Only you could weave together Gandalf, the Nazis and Japanese poetry together so deftly. Well done. Thanks for sharing this.
