...as long as it's a good book.
My mom thinks I love books because she did this with us. I haven't told her that whenever she did this I was just ignoring it and off in my own imagination, or watching other kids playing in the distance when we were outside - if anything she turned me off of reading for years because she chose books I found boring, and I didn't know anything else existed. It was much later I found sci-fi and came to it on my own.
