Even when I don't want it to it's always there, becoming a big theme. And I've always been a big reader. I started reading at 4 yo (so the story goes) because I was too impatient to know what was going on in a book to wait for my mother to have a chance to read it to me. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />JackeeJackeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03351019926958000627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3869854312562524230.post-2720718580849768632010-09-15T03:11:20.771+01:002010-09-15T03:11:20.771+01:00Being shy and curious probably influenced me to re...Being shy and curious probably influenced me to read.

To an extent they combine science with the supernatural. Usually, in the end they come up with a scientific explanation. I take things to the next level and introduce the two in a head on collission that no test tube will be able to quantify. Lots of fun. Never a dull moment. Who will win? Well, stay tuned.<br /><br />Very cool ... thanks for the reference to my blog. Every little bit helps. Itry to visit as many blogs as I can every day. But 50 - 100???
