I must say that I adore reading, and one of my hopes for Zachary is that he grows up to be an avid reader.About a year and a half ago, a friend and I started a book club. I'm really proud of the group and what it has become. We read biographies, fiction, non-fiction, you name it...and I'm glad that we're not afraid of books that we don't necessarily agree with. It's a way to learn about other places and times. Get inside someone else's head. Wrestle with moral questions. Decide what I would have done in a particular situation.
This month, our book club is reading Jane Eyre (and surprisingly enough, I've never read it before). One of the benefits of nursing is that I have 3-4 hours a day to multitask - feed my baby AND do some reading. So, Zachary and I read Jane Eyre - his first piece of literature! And we (I) LOVED it. I didn't read him the entire thing, but little portions here and there to "enrich his learning experience" (aka hear the inflection of my voice).
