When asked about the power of first memories, writer Alain De Botton was quoted in the August issue of Psychologies magazine as saying, "Books were my safety nets."
As a lifelong reader and eventual writer, I can relate. At an early age, books were a refuge for me, too.
My beloved 5th grade teacher, Mr. Michelob, used to let me sit out dreaded recess in the back of the classroom, which he had fashioned into a U-shaped cubicle stacked with books.
There, as other kids played tag, I discoverd an abiding adoration for words.
