Start them young.

I spent an enjoyable day yesterday in the company of family including my 15month old nephew. The best part of my day? My sister commenting that he's starting to pull books off his bookshelf to be read to him. I'm delighted that he's enjoying books at such a young age (and hope that continues), and I'm delighted that my sister is taking the time to read to him. I suspect my sister has read more books since her son's birth than she did through school and since I can't seem to walk past any supplier of children's literature without buying another bag full of books for my nephew, she's not going to be running out of reading material any time soon.
