I love reading!

I started reading very early, as my father was an attorney and had an extensive library. One of my earliest reading memories is from when I was in 4th grade. I had completed the Highlights-based assignments signed off by the teacher. During our reading session, I was sitting with nothing on my desk, reading a book in my lap. The teacher walked over and asked what I was doing, and I held up the book. She said 'there's no way that you understand what is happening in this book.' I was reading James Clavell's Shogun, which is at the very least at a 6-9th grade reading level, as well as over 1000 pages. I stated that I was on page 128 in the novel, and that she could ask me any question about what was happening in that section, and I would answered them.  Shortly after that, they pulled me out of class during the reading session to tutor the 6th graders at the school. I love reading; my entire family loves reading, and we do so on every vacation. One time, at a family reunion - sitting in a room of 19 people, the only 2 not reading were the one-year-old baby, and the person playing with her!
