[Night Hides Not]

And to think that reading can be acquired as easy as children acquire the skill to speak!

Until I was in high school, the books I read at home were strictly sports books, particularly baseball. My parents didn't try to push me in a different direction, because I was reading something.

Baseball was life to me as a youngster: I kept score, calculated batting averages and ERAs, and more.

It all worked out, leading me to a 4-year ROTC scholarship, and a 4-year tour in Germany.

"Until I was in high school, the books I read at home were strictly sports books, particularly baseball. My parents didn't try to push me in a different direction, because I was reading something."

One of my kids loved baseball stat books for a while. He also loved long novels and textbooks, believe it or not. Another one loved novels and factbooks. But, another one found novels boring. He liked manuals, the kind of books that explain how to make or do something. And that was fine by me!
