Kevin enjoying a book. I like it!

If Miles smiles any harder, he’s gonna get stuck that way.

I don’t think you can get lockjaw from smiling, anyway hopefully he got his tetanus shot.

Possibly, I Robot?

he’s just happy for you!

Atomic Robo.

I thank a librarian whose name I’ve forgotten for steering me towards science fiction and fantasy

The first “grown-up” book I read was at Kevin’s age. “When Eight Bells Toll”, by Alistair MacLean.Anyone else want to share?

Maybe he’s reading the novelization of “Star Wars: Episode 1: The Phantom Menace.” Lots of droids (close enough to call them robots) getting blasted. Roger roger.

Anyone can find a book that’s perfect for them, even Kevin.

God bless the librarians. They were so responsible for nurturing my early interests.

I miss the bookmobile, when I was Kevin’s age (back in the 60s) every Friday during summer at 10:15 walked two blocks to the local stop and would get an armful (limit was 8) of books to read before the next Friday. We had an in-school lending library so that helped during the school year. To paraphrase W. C. Fields “A librarian drove me to read books, and I never properly thanked them.”

Break ‘em in with I, Robot and they’ll never go back.

And so it begins.

Isaac Asimov, Douglas Adams, Robert Asprin, just to name a few…

This is me everytime my sister is lost in a book once in a blue moon

Haha! Great one, Tauhid. I can see the wheels spinning…
