You know, I was thinking about this because yesterday you and I were with the Queen at the Queen's Reading Room event, which you've been so active in, and I've been active in, and literacy.
And so my parents were funny in the sense that, you know, today's parents, we teach our, we're always taught like we have to read to our kids all the time, and you have to make sure they have an hour of reading.
My parents never did any of that because they loved books and they taught us to read organically.
You know, parents back in those days, never for, I don't remember my father ever sitting me on his knee to read me a story, but they were surrounded by books.
They were not messy people, but their bedroom could best be described as the style is early American fire hazard because there was so many books just piled everywhere, teetering and every kind.
you know, paperbacks, comic books, coffee table books, nonfiction books, how-to books.
We were just always surrounded by books.
The earliest gifts I remember always getting were books.
We didn't necessarily have a great deal of money.
We weren't buying any toys, but we could always buy.
If we wanted a book, we always got one.
We went to the library all the time.
And so we always, we were surrounded by a love of books and story my whole life.
Yeah, you know, it's hard.
I looked through a little bit through rose-colored glasses.
Both of my parents died young.
When I say young, not like, you know, my father was 59.
My mother was about 60, again, when I can't tell her real age.
So they were both fairly young when they died.
It seemed to me they got along okay.
