All three read nearly daily though. It's wonderful. |

Because you brought them up right. You fostered reading, took an interest in what they were reading and modeled reading with your own habits. Kudos.
I know I'd be shocked at how old that delightful baby with the basilisk stare is now! |

She (pink in my avatar) just turned 8.
The one on the far left is a senior this year which is terrifying. |

KDP Select's exclusivity requirement can go burn in a pit.
Rant over. |

I had a Tandy 1000 from RadioShack in the '80s. Built solid as a rock and carried me until I later bought my first Windows 95 PC (used) around 1996. The monitor I got cheap, as it was green text on black background and a discontinued model. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandy_1000 Intel 8088, yeah baby! My brother had the TRS-80 Model I, late 1970s, and let me use it some, so I already had the computer bug going, but had to wait until I was out of college and had a job to save up for my own PC. I spent more time reading than watching TV though. Sometimes I'd try to watch TV, but then I'd nosedive into a book and forget about what was on the screen. |

Describing a voice as "throaty" makes me think of a cat throwing up.
