It took me a very long time to learn to read (longer to spell). In an effort to expedite the process, I’d soak up words wherever I could; the backs of shampoo bottles in the shower, tissue boxes in bed, and milk cartons at the breakfast table. It’s safe to say I now know how to read. But I still carry with me the lesson: when you’re in the dark on something, immerse yourself in it. The New York Times or the back of a cardboard box. Wherever, however.
