DAILY PROMPT RESPONSE
I can’t remember a time when books weren’t a part of my life. My grandmother had the first library I had ever seen. There was a room off the living room filled with books of all sorts. I swear she had read every book. I assumed everyone had a library in their homes, but I soon learned that wasn’t the case. My grandmother got me started with my library. First, it was those Reader’s Digest Condensed Books.
I collected books on various subjects throughout my childhood and early adult years. Unfortunately, I lost nearly every volume I had collected. When I told my senior editor of my plight, she informed me that I would have a larger library better than any library I had previously built. She sounded so confident that it was hard not to be enthralled by her confidence.
Here we are over a decade later and have done just that. Together, we have built a small but impressive library with over 3,500 physical books, not including periodicals and albums. My digital library is well over 20,000 titles, not including movies, music, and journals. I know I will never read all these titles, but I can research most subjects without turning on a computer.
I remember sneaking into university libraries and getting lost in their shelves. Now, I do the same at home. So, the answer to the question is relatively simple. I read a little of this and a little of that.
