Whe...Thanks so much Jim, Kirsten, Matt and Deborah. When I started writing this, these memories just started flashing. Until then, I hadn't really thought of them as a whole,and the power they had to influence and shape me. And Deb--I remember at the time, I was pretty embarrassed about my mom reading there, it seemed too weird. Of course, now I realize both her doing it and her lack of self-consciousness was what was so wonderful about her doing it and about her.Susan E.

My parents, despite many moves, had shelves of books: Shakespeare, Flaubert, Pushkin and more. I remember treating the bookshelves like my own personal lending library. I think it's the reason I've never gotten rid of a single book. I want my kids to have that same experience some day.
