and I loved listening to him read. He wasn't much of a reader and those comics are the only thing I clearly remember him reading to me. My mom on the other hand read anything she was currently reading just to get me to settle down.

I was learning to read by the time I was 4 and reading at 2nd grade level by the time I wash 5. By the time I was 8 I had my own book collection and going to the library was my favorite thing.

Of course I read comic books too! Any comic rack was fair game!

For as long as I can remember, I always had something to read in my purse. Of course now it is my Baby Kindle
