My parents kept the TV in the closet. They only pulled it out for Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood and Electric Company. Then it went RIGHT back in the closet.

I didn't have TV as a kid. Instead, I wasted my time by reading every book I could get my hands on.

That's exactly what I did. (But Mr. Rogers was still my friend. ) My mother was a newly minted elementary school teacher - I was her guinea pig. I learned to read at about 2-1/2, no joke.

I still love to read! Reading American sniper right now and then I am going to buy enslaved by ducks and finish reading it. I read a sample and loved it !

I was reading by about three, so I can believe that.

I've been considering trying to find it. I'm currently still working thru the books in the newest library, though, so it's not like I'm short on stuff to read.
I go to a new library every year or so, makes sure the kiddos and I always have stuff to read.

I do Amazon prime so I can read stuff for free. But enslaved by ducks is seven bucks to read so haven't done it yet.

Tried reading books on screen, made my eyes burn... Even with BYC I have to take breaks.... But I can read books all day and not have my eyes get tired. Kinda weird.

I love reading, but (true confessions time), I'm a little obsessive about it. Like I read and read and read and read, and suddenly it's time to go to work and I didn't sleep.... It's not healthy, so mostly I do nonfiction (a little easier to put down), and I do fiction when I'm on vacation.

I have been dying to read Enslaved by Ducks, haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I have books across multiple platforms. In my experience, the only electronic reading that doesn't hurt my eyes is on a Kindle because it does the best job of mimicking real paper/print (I have a Paperwhite from a good number of years ago now). The bonus is that our public library lends Kindle books.

But in the end, I prefer a physical book. Just wired that way, I guess - when you learn to adore it at such a young age, kinda hard to break. The Kindle is useful for traveling, but (although it probably doesn't make financial sense), I'll have both Kindle and physical versions of a book (esp big fat heavy ones).
