Of all the things I miss the most are the books we left in Guyana. I have been trying to replace books that I grew up reading and which were formidable in my education. My library includes Black Midas, The Young Warriors, Miguel Street, Backfire and a host of books about Guyana. I hope I can instill my love of reading in my son. Most particularly, the ones about Guyana so he can learn about his heritage and ancestry.

I don't read as much as I used to but my son loves to read. To him, a library is like a candy store.

I was like your son when I was growing up in Guyana.

Good for you Leonora. Reading has always been our window to the world.

 

There is a place called Lincoln Road Mall in South Beach where there are lots of shops and restaurants. One evening when we were down there, my wife and daughter went into Victoria's Secrets and my son and I stayed outside. Eventually he realized that there was a nearby bookstore nd asked me to take him to it. Once he got in there, he began behaving like it was the greatest thing he has ever seen. Granted, they had their themes separated by rooms as shown in the picture below from same bookstore but I couldn't appreciate it as he was doing. After we reunited with my wife and daughter, he told then that they have to see this amazing bookstore and we went back to it.

You got a good son and an avid reader, Ksaz.

During high school breaks while classmates were playing hanky panky and having romances, poor me was in the library absorbed in books on philosophy, psychology, etc.    So scared of boys, didn't have a boyfriend until I was 23. Spouse and I are avid readers but couldn't get our son to read novels; he studied his school books and excelled in those. My basement is filled with books and it's probably a fire hazard.
