I've created a poll out of curiosity -- please pop over to the polls section
of this e-group and vote.  The question is:

     "Did your parents, other relatives, or teachers
      read to you regularly as a child?"

One of the most vivid memories I have as a child is my father sitting in a
chair reading (children's versions of) stories like "Tales of King Arthur,"
"The Count of Monte Cristo" and "Three Musketeers."  I can remember being
overjoyed in grade school when I discovered the unabridged versions of these
stories and could re-read them as if they were new experiences.

It seems that most of us here are avid readers, and I was curious to know if
this trait was developed in early childhood, by others reading to us, or by
our discovering books on our own.

So please take 30 second and vote -- it's the poll on the bottom of the list
(I think).

Thanks
S.M. Lunatic
