I want to buy some Joy perfume, but at $150 a small bottle, that's not going to happen anytime soon.

When I was a child and would get the occasional money from my parents (who didn't believe in allowances or paying for chores), the next words out of their mouths went something like this, "Buy some candy, don't buy any books."  Scandalous, but true.

Why didn't they want you to buy books? Did they think they were being "fun" parents
by ordering you to spend the money frivolously?   :facepalm2:

I was reading adult books by grade 4.  We would go to the library every 2 weeks, but I could only check out age-appropriate books under the library's rules.  I would have all 7 books read by that night.  I was and am a voracious reader.  I loved going to New Orleans once or twice a year because my aunt was a voracious reader too and for that week I could read all her books (A. J. Cronin, Frances Parkinson Keys, James Fenimore Cooper, Thomas B. Costain; Look, Life, and Readers Digest magazines).   I guess my parents wanted me to have a balance to my life.  At least candy was my second choice.

I usually have between 5 to 8 books going at once, in various places in the house and car.

Well, IMHO, I would simply encourage my kids to read even more. Which is what I do. They never get an argument from me if they want to buy books.

Too bad my own reading's been so poor lately. I've been reading constantly since I first learned to read, and that was at age three.

I have been put off reading ever since I have been going to uni. But I used to read 3 or 4 books on the go quite often, haven't known of other people to do that until now. :)

I want for my car:
New tinting (as it is getting hard to see out of the back window).
New front speakers as the ones I have now are blown.
Mildly Cute in a Retarded Way

I could get any books I wanted from the library, but only two at a time, so I would quickly devour them like you did your seven.

I would also read all my textbooks from cover to cover within the first week or two of school, so whatever the teacher taught for the rest of the year felt like sort of a review to me.
