I've always loved to read, ever since at a young age. I remember in kindergarten, one of the first books I ever read was Go, Dog, Go by Dr. Seuss. My kindergarten teacher had always said that I was a natural reader and I was one of the few who were able to read at the time.
While I was in elementary school, I always used to love getting the book order pamphlets (I forgot what they were called! Scholastic Reading or something?) and I would always order a ton of books from there. I was also a part of the Babysitter's Club Little Sister's Book Club, and they would send me books through the mail. Many of my reading experiences when I was younger were always positive. I can't even recall a negative experience with reading.
Even now, I find that I am always reading. Since school started, I haven't really gotten a chance to read as much as I wanted to, but I love reading books when I have the time. I also read a lot of magazines and have websites that I read daily whenevever I first sign online. Barnes and Noble is my second home. :)

I remember those pamphlets where you can order books! I think it was Scholastic. I absolutely loved looking through those and deciding which books I wanted to read. It was so much fun to make my book orders and talk to the other kids in my class about what books they were going to order.
I feel the same as you. When I am in school I rarely get the chance to read on my own for pleasure.
Wow thats great you were so involved in the reading atmosphere which makes it fun to read. A book club? I wish I was part of a book club. I could just imagine young little girls discussing favorite parts of a certain book and sharing their thoughts and feelings. Its a good way to communicate with others and encourage one another to read.
