By the age of 10 I was a gobbler- up of books and would read everything my older brothers read which was pirates and sea captains,
comics and commandos.
On my own I read Nancy Drew (short and easy) and anything on the neighborhood library shelves that looked adult like Tolstoy (long and hard).
I read them in the same breath. It didn’t matter if I understood everything, as long as I was reading.
