I came from a home where everybody had a book.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Books were in my family - books were my family.
My grandparents used to bring me books every time they saw me.
One of the great privileges of my life was growing up in a house without books.
Books were this wonderful escape for me because I could open a book and disappear into it, and that was the only way out of that house when I was a kid.
We didn't have much, but I was raised to believe if you had books, you had a lot. My grandfather and my parents made me and my twin brother Kiel read at least a book a week.
I really have lived in books. Books are friends. They are some of the friends that make you who you are.
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.
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 grew up in a house with very few books.
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.
