My First Shakespeare
My mom used to read books to me when I was too small to read. Comics mostly. One day she started reading from a book that did not have much pictures. It was a shakespeare. She used to select the story, read each line and explain it. Then when I could read, she asked me to read it by myself. I was to underline the words I could not read/pronounce/understand. I still have that particular book with me - intact, with all those underlined words. I have over the years collected lots of books (paperback, hardcover and ebooks of different formats). I have thrown away many books that I have overgrown. But this one will stay forever in my collection. It has a fragrance of old books and childhood memories.
