You know how they say a child inherits his athletic ability from his mother? I’m going on record to say a child also inherits his love of reading from his mother. I know I did. My father taught me to love baseball. My mom showed me how to love reading. My mom is a world class reader, consuming upwards of 50+ books a year. She recently joined a club where she can buy books by the pound. She’s giddy about the deal, much like I would be if I could buy donuts by the pound. I don’t have the time to read 50 books a year, but on a one-week vacation, I can easily read five-to-six books, blowing through them like some people blow through six packs.
