Despite my mom being a teacher when I was a kid, I wouldn't say she had that much of an impact on influencing my interest in reading.

For me it was more of an auto-didactic behavior, which stemmed out of my endless curiosity about everything. And ofcourse an old attic that had plenty of very dusty books, which I used to sneak into and spend hours and hours in, until it lost its magic and I eventually started buying some books.

Thanks for this wonderful read that sparked some good memories for me.
