I was an avid reader as a child; one of those geeky kids that spent afternoons at the library during the summer. I never lost my fascination with books. My daughter is also a book lover, and now her kids are acquiring quite the collection of books as well. If you have children, please encourage them to read. Reading stimulates the imagination in a way that television and computer games can never do. Give books to the kids in your life. You won't regret it.
Ten books that inspired me to read more...
