I was read to every night as a little child (spoiled, I know). Dr. Suess, Uncle Remus Stories (remember that one?), Perry (about a squirrel family if I remember correctly)and a series of "Golden Books" filled with lyrical little stories I can still recite (I'm a tough old sea-goin' cat, my name is Captain Jack...) <br />It was a Mark Twain knock-off assignment in 7th grade that gave me the writing bug.
