I remember my parents’ bookshelf.
Our home library was small but still more varied and interesting than those in other people's houses.
My mother, a nurse, was an eclectic reader with many interests; my father was a history and literature buff.
I was late to start reading. I remember my parents talking about a family friend, a 6-year-old reading fluently.
I remember I started to read voraciously when I got a cold and stayed in bed for a couple of weeks.
Some of the first books I read were by Jules Verne in the exploration genre.
I loved the adventure ever since.
We borrowed books from the school library, and later, I started buying them from the town's small, quaint bookstore in an old wooden villa.
Once I arrived in the USA, Borders and Barnes and Noble were my favorite hangout places.
Only recently, in 2024, after purchasing thousands of books, I realized that collecting books is my hobby. Until now, I thought it was just a normal thing to do to buy and read books.
