I used to lock myself in Daddy's library and read away. While my sister and brother spent time with their friends, I spent my summers drowning in books when I was young. I remember closing my eyes and pulling out any book that my fingers touched. From literature to history... down to learning the sign language of the alphabet, I learned it all through reading. To so many, I didn't have a social life but to me, those were the best years. 

-- don't depend on the net alone. Teach your kids to love books. Who knows, they might grow up posting status messages like this someday.
