Cool...I didn't start liking poetry until I read Shakespeare;  I remember
reading my grandfather's book of  Shakespeare's plays - that siloquy in
'Hamlet' has always been my favourite and I remember reading it in the third
grade.  I actually did a book report on it, and my teacher didn't believe
I'd actually read it!  I had to read a passage to her to prove I could and
I'd had.

My dad started reading A. Conan Doyle to me when I was still a tot and the
Sherlock Holmes mysteries are another favourite of mine.  I was crushed when
I learned he wasn't real.

We certainly were a literary household although my sisters don't remember it
as such.  Neither of them reads as much as I.
