I grew up in a house with very few books.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I discovered reading through libraries. I grew up in a house that wasn't brimming with books.
One of the great privileges of my life was growing up in a house without books.
I read a book a day when I was a kid. My family was not literary; we did not have any books in the house.
There are books all around me... I don't read as much as I used to, but I always have a book or two going.
The only book in our home was the Bible. My parents forbade books. They thought I needed help because I wanted to be a writer!
I always knew that I wanted to live with books, even as a child, because we traveled a lot. Home was the book to which I came back every evening.
I don't live in books, but, boy, have books amplified my life.
I grew up around books - my grandmother's house, where I lived as a small child, was full of books. My father was a history teacher, and he loved the Russian novels. There were always books around.
When I was growing up, my house was filled with books. My mother was an educator, and my father was a history buff, so our home was a virtual library, covering every author from Beverly Cleary to James Michener.
I came from a home where everybody had a book.
