Please Don't Hate Me Because I Love to Read
Part 3
by Nancy R. Fenn

Page: 1 2 3 4

Some "late bloomers" didn't start reading until around 5 years old (!) These are typical answers: "My mother taught me when I was 4." ... "By myself, with help from my mom." ... "I started myself at 5, then at school by myself." ... "I was about 5 years old." ... "My mother began to teach me before I entered school." ... "I suppose my mother taught me, because I could read before I got to school."

David Benioff, screenwriter for "Troy", says The Iliad was always one of his favorite books. He heard it read aloud as a little kid. "My mother was bedridden," he explained in an interview, "and she would read me whatever she was reading at the time.

When I was six she read me The Iliad. Of course the book was composed to be spoken, and in a good translation it has this great rhythm. Even before I understood what was going on I was swept up in the rhythm of it. Hector and Achilles were heroes of mine even before I began reading comic books. Before Spider-Man and the X-Men I was obsessed with these two. When I got older I thought it was weird that they hadn't made the big movie of it."

Liked Benioff, many of our introverted readers mentioned the joys of reading aloud. My father, who had a beautiful bass voice and much dramatic ability, read aloud to me as a child. Several years ago my daughter taught The Iliad at a local college. I asked her to remind me of the story and we lay together on the bed late one night as she spoke eloquently, from memory, of the wrath of Achilles.

Here's what my introverted readers said about their "out loud" experiences. "My spouse and I read 'The Chronicles of Narnia' to each other," said one introvert. "We alternated every two chapters. It was wonderful. We are trying to keep this habit, but his suggestion was to read 'Master and Margarita' (in Russian) and it was too much for my language abilities."

Another introvert comments, "[I] just [read aloud] to my kids ... it would be a fantasy quality in a partner." And another says, "Yes, me and my girlfriend read to each other while the other is driving on vacations."

Some introverts read to their pets. One young mother said she read aloud to her golden retrievers. She added, "I love to hear my husband read to me, I find it very soothing." Another introvert mentioned reading aloud to her cat when she was little.
