I was a very un-literary child, which might reassure parents with kids who don't read.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
No one ever really read to me as a child.
I read a whole lot as a child, and, of course, I still read children's books.
I'm not terribly conversant with children's literature in general. I tend to read books for adults, being an adult.
My parents were avid readers. Both had ambitions to write that had been abandoned early in life in order to get on with life.
I wasn't really comfortable reading until I was 12.
I did not discover literature of any kind until I was about eleven, or ten.
I have never met an author who did not read voraciously as a child.
I was a reader as a child, believe it or not.
When I was 8, I was reading 'Gone with the Wind' and 'Pride and Prejudice' and all that, not knowing it wasn't my reading level.
