A Revelation

[bloodyrosemccoy]

I think I’ve finally put my finger on just what, exactly, feels so wrong about my having joined a liberry teen-focus group: lack of understanding of the basic goal of getting teenagers to read.

All I’m saying is, I was the teenager who inspired whole panels of teachers, counselors, and parents to convene in order to figure out how to get me to stop reading.

I may be out of my depth here.

Once as punishment for something (since grounding etc didn't work), my mother EMPTIED my bookcases of everything resembling a novel or work of fiction (and most of the non-fiction). I lost all my books (apart from those that were hidden, and the encyclopeadias) for at least a term for whatever it was i did. 10+ weeks of hiding library books!

Oh, that's HORRIBLE! My Mom stuck to grounding me from the library, which was bad enough.

My mom threatened to do that once. However, since our entire house is filled with books, it would have been way too much work.
