I would invariably fall asleep and , the following night, would trawl back 20 pages or so, and read another 10 before falling asleep again. Thus I became very adept at reading a book backwards.<br /><br /> It's all in the genes, you know!<br /><br /> Incidentally, we were both very keen on science fiction at the time and I would read aloud short stories of Isaac Asimov. This probably accounts for your mother frequently falling asleep.pascalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30869933.post-64721686171576950492011-05-18T08:55:08.812+01:002011-05-18T08:55:08.812+01:00Good to have you back, Botogol.
