Not sure whether high verbal scores correlate with being read to as a child, I don't really remember whether my mother read to me or not, but I certainly love to read. I am already half-way through The Shipping News, by Annie Proulx, which I just got from the library today. I've been reading in bed, lying on my side, leaning on my elbows, switching from side to side as one shoulder gets tired, and now both shoulders are complaining, bitterly. That's the one thing that hasn't really recovered from the RA, my ability to read in bed, leaning on my elbows, for hours and hours. My elbow skin used to look like leather. I love to read, and so does Chris, and the boys do, too. I checked out Too Good to Be True, the Colossal Book of Urban Legends, suspecting that the boys would find it irresistible, and I was right. Nick was lying in bed next to me, enthralled, for a couple of hours, telling me Urban Legends every so often. Now they are all out Christmas shopping, and I have to give my shoulders a break. A rest, I mean, don't want any broken shoulders.
