ReplyDeleteGreat post, I love all the quotes you've used. I can't understand anyone who wouldn't want to pass a love of reading onto their children. I love the photos, especially the one of Burton with the Bill and Ben book on his head - its a standing joke that I can't read hard backed books as I drop them on my head when I fall asleep reading them :)
