Funnily ...What a lovely gift your father gave you. Funnily enough, my father gave me the same gift, but in a totally different way. He is not a reader at all, and would not allow us to read any fiction. There was only one "story" book in our house, so the first full size, novel style book I read was also "Reach for the Sky". I was a bit rebellious, so I read whenever and whatever I could. I still have that original book, and became an avid reader, amassing hundreds of books. My dad even built a wall of bookcases for me for my 16th birthday. I cannot imagine life without books and reading.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02288331185772160975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179563292110008972.post-67434141585713143682012-03-05T01:31:06.015+11:002012-03-05T01:31:06.015+11:00Thank you for the recommendation, this one sounds ...Thank you for the recommendation, this one sounds very interesting.Threeundertwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07841404786048246834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179563292110008972.post-72574862726176767542012-03-03T22:30:36.196+11:002012-03-03T22:30:36.196+11:00Thank you very much for pointing out this book to ...Thank you very much for pointing out this book to us.

My parents encouraged me to read also. My dad has been gone 34 years this year, but like you I think of him so often (I was only 30 when he died). Sadly my mother is now a dementia sufferer, and the saddest thing is she has forgotten how to read, how to knit and how to do crossword puzzles, her three favourite passions. I am making sure I make the most of my passions.<br />JudyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7179563292110008972.post-18054330999783542972012-03-01T18:03:12.227+11:002012-03-01T18:03:12.227+11:00Lovely post!
