[LM_NET] TARGET -> Inspirational essays or stories about reading

[Valerie Russell <vrussell2@MINDSPRING.COM>]

I'm looking for any top-notch essays or stories that deal with the subject
of reading, written by a kid (or by an adult who loved to read during
childhood). I'm especially interested in stories that illustrate how reading
has opened up wonderful opportunities for someone. (personal, creative,
professional, etc.) 
I'll definitely post a hit if I get responses.   :)
Thanks!
