Re: Awesome memories

One of my best childhood memories is about my dad reading The Hobbit to me as a bedtime story when I was six, over the course of several nights. I think we did -more or less- a chapter each night until we finished the book? I loved it so much. And he was so expressive. He made the voices, invented tunes to sing the songs of the dwarves and all. It was such an awesome experience, I was already a book-lover at that age, but being read aloud like that was magical and fueled my love of books even more. I think he read several books to me, but for some reason I can only remember The Hobbit. Don't know why.

For the same reason, after my parents divorced, with us in Chile and dad staying permanently in Guatemala; I did the same for my little brother once he was old enough to appreciate it. He was four when the divorce happened. Dad would never be around to read to him, and I wanted him to have a beautiful experience with books like I had so badly. But he didn't show much of an interest in The Hobbit, so I tried with Harry Potter, and lo! He loved it. He was seven years old and I was thirteen at the time, the fourth book hadn't come out yet. So I read him 'till the third. Then I encouraged him to pick up the books and re-read them by himself, and every time he finished a chapter I did a drawing related to it.

I wasn't a very good big sister, to be honest. I was a troubled teenager prone to wild moodswings, and I often treated him badly because we had to share a room and I only wanted to be alone, which is something I regret a lot now. So my little brother (who's now 18) doesn't have the best childhood memories of me. But I do know for a fact he remembers our nightly sessions with Harry Potter very fondly - He has told me so.

(We have an awesome sibling relationship now, fortunately :3)

My God, are our dads secretly twin brothers or something? I was older--about 9--but my father read The Hobbit to me in just that way, making different voices for the characters and a tune for the dwarves' song. So many happy memories!
