I'm not as well read as I was when I was younger - I just devoured books.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I loved to read and would read anything that roused my interest, whether it was below my age level or above it, even if I could barely make sense of it.
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.
I basically only read books that are over 2,000 years old.
I read a whole lot as a child, and, of course, I still read children's books.
When I was turning 40, I felt that there were no books out there that hit the spot in terms of what I wanted to read.
I don't read young adult or children's books, now that my grandchildren are beyond the age of my reading to them. I read reviews, and so I'm aware of what's out there. But I tend not to read the books.
I was passionate about reading from an early age, and I would always be carrying a different book each week.
The funny thing is, I'm not really a big reader, not a big fan of books in the first place.
Iwas not a reader at all, not until I discovered 'The Hobbit.' That changed my life. It gave me the courage to read. It led me to the 'Lord of the Rings' series. And once I'd read that, I knew I could read anything because I had just read thousands of pages.
I read a lot. I am an inveterate reader. I always have a novel going.
