I love to read...my children have learned to love reading (boy do they love reading)...in fact today I said the acorn doesn't fall far from the tree and my son said I thought it was apple doesn't fall far from the tree...(I looked it up and I think both are acceptable idioms...that is how we hothouse intellectual curiosity, it just comes up and we race to find out the answer as soon as we have the chance). I said that because he currently has three books going. I generally have a car book (for waiting for kids), a bedside book, and a purse book. He has a school library book (first one in a series on King Arthur), a classroom library book (4th in the Haddox series Among the Hidden), and a paperback book we own all going. Sometimes he will have a public library book in the mix too. And he should have a book in Spanish in the mix too but he "forgets".
