At 62 also... Allthough I will not lend her any books of late because she still manages to spill foreighn elements on them. My mother reads more then anyone I have ever known. Her bathtub is full of books and they have to use the shower even though dad needs the whirlpools for his diabetic legs. It's no matter, my mother is a vat of knowledge when it comes to books she admires. She is her own personal library.
