Do you remember having a favorite nursery rhyme or bedtime story?
What kinds of books did you like to read?

I remember having many nursery rhymes somewhat committed to memory in my childhood and although I don't really remember having them read or told to me they were obviously very much a part of my early childhood. Mother loved to read when she got a chance and I am sure she read to us a lot or told us the stories a lot.
As far as books that I liked to read, well , I wasn't much of a reader even though I did read a lot of books in my youth. They were mostly westerns in origin and adventure in plot. I did read some church related books that had been given to me through the years and would always order books through the readers book clubs at school. I must admit however several of them were never read. I guess that is why I was somewhat excited when some of my children took to reading very heavily. I always wanted that kind of drive but never fully had it as part of my young life.
