| Readers write: Shared reading memories, appreciation of new Daily format Posted: 21 Oct 2017 03:00 AM PDT ![Readers write: Shared reading memories, appreciation of new Daily format]( "Readers write: Shared reading memories, appreciation of new Daily format") Having experienced the pleasure of book ownership at a much younger age than Mr. Klose, my introduction to reading was on a far less sophisticated plane than "The Cask of Amontillado." My first love was Robert Louis Stevenson's "A Child's Garden of Verses," followed by the Beatrix Potter animal stories, Nancy Drew mysteries, and eventually the English classics of Walter Scott, Charles Dickens, William Thackeray, and the Brontë sisters.
