Love absolutely everything about this story. Imagine discovering the joy of reading when you’re old enough not to take it for granted! I still remember the excitement of realising I could take 6 books out of the library EVERY WEEK if I wanted to. Reading is a gift – bloody well done Tony for being so uncynically joyful about your new hobby!
