I really do mean always.
Me (age a few months) & my dad
Around age 3ish, I think.
About age 4 or 5, maybe.
Reading with Dad & Nik
Age 11 on Dad's truck
So it might be no surprise that this discovery on Friday quickly became one of my favorite things on the internet: “You Should Date an Illiterate Girl.”
The girl who reads has spun out the account of her life and it is bursting with meaning. She insists that her narratives are rich, her supporting cast colorful, and her typeface bold. . . . You will accept nothing less than passion, and perfection, and a life worthy of being storied.

I love this post. My parents didn’t take a lot of photos, but one of my high school art projects was a life-size oil self-portrait of me, sitting in a window and reading very seriously. If I ever need an author website, it’s going right on there.
I have similar pictures that show me growing up with books, and now I take them of my own children. There’s nothing I like better than seeing a book in a kid’s hand.
Oh, and also loved that illiterate girl post. Thanks for sharing the link!
I wold love to see a book of photographs just showing places people read! It’s inspiring!
