Yeah Kaltrina, I read it and really fell in love with it.
great then i'll have to put it in my reading list. :D
To Kaltrina : Where are you???
To Samercury : Where are you???
I am but sometimes I hesitate to identify myself as such. I hate arguing religion, it's such a personal thing and my philosopy is that whatever religion you are, is fine with me, I don't feel the need to push my views on anyone else and I don't want anyone to push their views on me. I don't think there's one true religion, I don't think there are wrong beliefs and right beliefs...you know...within reason of course, I mean, I would classify a belief that to kill people is to bring you closer to God as 'wrong' but you know what I mean, I think for the most part, people find a faith that works for them and go with it and thats as it should be. I grew up in the church, my dad is a lutheran pastor and I have a very deep faith, I just prefer to keep my mouth shut about as a general rule.Quote:

To all: When did you first start reading? When did you know it was something you really liked to do?
As a kid I read very casually,only when there was nothing on TV or when I was extremely bored.Then one summer I read all the Harry Potter books in a week, and afterwards I read The Portrait Of Dorian Gray.I've been reading non-stop ever since.Anything and everything I could get my hands on.Three or four novels a week.It became somewhat of an obsession, and I often skipped school to finish certain books.
I began to read when I was starting secondary school, one of my matters was Literature or "Español", and as I mentioned once in another thread my teacher was really fantastic. You know, I am not the only one who thought thus about him, everybody in the school loves him. He was so passionate about the great plays or books that it was so contagious.
I've been reading (as in books) since I was 10 or so, back then I liked this comic series (most likely for boys as there were almost no girls but back then I didn't mind that much I suppose ;)). That's the band: (translates into 'Fast Arrows' and used to be a clasic, it's by Jaroslav Forglar, it's about a group of scouts)

Can't remember any more of the books I used to read, that one stuck, and another similar comic, called Bonaventura. But that's kinda off topic :p
I always loved reading. Don't know when did I 'decide' to love it. I just did :D
It is funny that you are asking that question, because I asked myself that several weeks ago. My mother was cleaning our garage to prepare for our move this summer and she found several boxes full of books that I read over and over again through gradeschool and junior high. So I look at them now and I figure I must have loved it and have been reading, pretty much as soon as when I first learned how.
I have been on the classics for pretty much a year now though and I still absolutely love it. The only trouble is finding the time.
Question to all:
How does everyone get to know eachother so well? I am probably asking cuz I am relatively new here...but just curious
I didn't really get into reading for my own pleasure until I was out of college. I had taken literature classes and enjoyed the books we read in class, I was one of the only ones in class that actually read the books instead of relying on Cliff Notes but it never occured to me to read something I wasn't assigned until I wasn't assigned anything anymore and I found I missed it. Then, when I had kids, I didn't have time but once they got a little older, to the point where I didn't have to watch them 24 hours a day, I picked it up again with even more passion than I had before and have passed that love of reading onto my kids, they've become just as voracious readers as I am and I'm very happy about t hat.Quote:

hey papaya what about you??
ummmmm I'm not sure. I remember sitting on my grandpa's lap as he read to me, pointing to the words as he read. But what I think really pushed me over the edge was when my mom ordered those personalized books, with my friends and my names in them.
It just kind of happens once your here for a little while.Quote:

2. I've always been homeschooled, in first grade my mom used this boring reading curriculum, you learned words in a lesson, then read a book with those 10 words in it. It was so boring I hid a reading book. Then I started getting easy reading books like frog and toad from the library, and when I found new words, I just asked my parents or older sister what they were. Soon we got rid of that curriculum. (yay!) and I've really loved reading since then, so about 2nd grade. It is amazing to me that I have only been reading for about 6 years.
3. this is exactly how I learn about people-read their posts and somethings chat in different threads, especially live chat. pms. help too, because it is easy to get to know people that way. :D good luck!
