Tamara Merrill

She has always read a lot, and it didn’t have to be a book. If anything had words on it the author admitted that she read it, everything from historical markers to cereal boxes and graffiti. She also extended this to books and would read all types of books, ones that had jokes, fiction, nonfiction, dictionaries, encyclopedias. She says that the only exceptions were that she would not read directions for things and would not read cookbooks.
