With the slight exception of the reading contest you described the summers of my youth as well. My Mom got me hooked on what has turned out to be a lifetime obsession with reading. I too have the not-read, still-reading and want-to-re-read stacks around the house, along with a penchant for ducking into libraries and book shops whenever I travel.

Thanks for the story, and for the good deeds with BookIt! I just ordered a shirt.
