The whole world opened to me when I learned to read.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I read many things. I read to fill in my knowledge of the world.
I came from a house full of books, so I took reading for granted. I was an outdoorsy little kid, too, so I got the best of both worlds by taking books up trees and reading there.
As I traveled the world over, I traveled everywhere, and I learned so much.
My life is now an open book.
For me, reading was always the great escape without getting your fingers burnt.
I loved books; I read my childhood away. I was more interested in my interior world.
When I was a kid, I went through the whole process of reading great literature and trying to be very widely read.
I've loved reading all my life.
I was encouraged to be imaginative and read, and it was a great childhood for a budding writer because I had the time and the freedom to go into a world of my own.
When I was 11, the whole world was closed to me. I just felt I was on the outside of the world.
