Response to "Brit's Fantasy Factory" Blog About Learning to Read

Like Britton, I not very concerned about my timeline of learning to read. I don’t remember exactly when I was able to first read, but like him I do remember the Animorph books. I thought they were the coolest thing; however, I liked them because if you flipped through them quickly in the bottom right side of the pages you could see the character morph. I don’t think I actually ever read any Animorph books, but I do know I flipped through numerous ones. I remember Harry Potter growing up, but never actually read the series until I was a senior in high school. They are still probably the greatest books I have ever read, along with the J.R. Tolkein Lord of the Rings series. I have only read The Hobbit (probably close to ten times) and The Fellowship of the Ring. I read part way through The Two Towers, but never finished it. I too have read a number of books on swimming. Being a swimmer, I never seem to be able to get enough of that stuff. Most of my swimming reading, however, comes from Swimming World magazine.
