I started reading when I was about three, a little over three.

Reading was and still is my real joy.

Well, I can't remember not being able to read. I was told I could read by myself very well at the age of three.

It's rare that I read more than two or three books by any one author; usually only one.

I learned to read at two. I was in a Montessori school and they teach you to read really, really young.

I love to read. But I loved to read a lot longer than I started to love writing.

I hadn't learned to read by third grade, which wasn't unusual for some kids. I knew something was wrong because I couldn't see or understand the words the way the other kids did. I wasn't the least bit bothered - until I was sent back to the second-grade classroom for reading help after school.

I didn't read at all until I was 12. I just couldn't. It was too frustrating.

I read several books at one time.

I've loved reading all my life.
