Thanks Ravs, I had great teachers. Yet only God Knows "everything about everything". I am just a really curious reader some subjects that interest me.
My mother once said that I was the only kid she'd ever seen with whom you had to pry a book out of my hand to get me to go outside and play.
Good for you, Boka! You were a reader. Me, too. We grew up in the era before the internet, and I have to say that even though I adore the internet and find it useful on many levels, I’m glad that when I was a youngster it wasn’t around. I read voraciously. (That’s how you get blessed with a good vocabulary!) Seems to me that it always becomes obvious when someone is “well read” as opposed to someone who isn’t.
Of course, I’m also glad that instead of being at the computer all the time, we youngsters spent a lot of time outdoors, regardless of the weather. It was a healthier lifestyle for kids. I wouldn’t trade it for a fountain of youth today.
Books are treasures.
