I was a slightly geeky kid.

I was the kid who was too geeky for the other kids.

I was such a geek in school.

I read a whole lot as a child, and, of course, I still read children's books.

I was a reader as a child, believe it or not.

When I was young, I was reading anything and anything I could lay my hands on. I was a veracious-to-the-point-of-insane reader.

I think I'm probably quite geeky in a lot of ways. I'm pretty into books, kind of obsessive about that.

I was a precocious reader.

When I was 11 or 12, I was really bored with everything on my summer reading list. It was all happy, middle-grade kinds of books. I was getting frustrated, because I liked to read. My mother went to the library and got me a copy of 'The Other Side of Midnight' by Sidney Sheldon. It was my first adult book.
