Hi Vejas, in a way it was different for me. I attended a
residential School for the Blind, so many of the kids I'd known
since I was five. We ate together, had class together, played
together, lived together. So people were used to me going off to
read. It was at home that I had the problem of "reading too
much". But a lot of that was because I had nothing else to do.
I wasn't good at just going out in my neighborhood, especially
after my family moved. When I was young, we lived in a
neighborhood where there were sidewalks, and it was easier to
tell where I was. Then we moved to a neighborhood with no
sidewalks. So while my brothers were off running around, I was
at home alone. Both my parents worked, and after my allotted
chores were done, I had little to do. So I read. Those habits
became very much ingrained in me. Before I got married, I lived
by myself. When I wasn't working, or out doing church stuff, or
just hanging out with friends, I read. I always had several
books going on at once. Now I don't get to read as much, and I
spend tons of time on email, probably more than I should.
