That's probably not exactly true. His first love was probably action figures. Once he started reading though he pretty much never stopped. We used to tell him it was rude to read when he had a friend in the car on the way to hockey practice. I guess there's worse things for a kid to do!
For Christmas in 1997 I gave James The Hobbit. He didn't have much interest in reading it until the next summer, however, by summer's end he had not only read it and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy but he'd read them more than once. And he was still only 8 years old! He read those books over and over again as the years went by.
Another great memory is when we watched him anticipate delivery of a sequel of one of the Harry Potter books. We were skeptical that Chapters would actually deliver it on the day it was released. The van pulled up and there was one excited boy in our house. By the next day he'd read it twice!
