Brenna’s comments from the The Random World of Reading group.

My family is a family of readers, but what sticks with me the most is the Emily Dickinson memory. My grandmother used to recite "I'm Nobody" to my mom, who then recited it to me as I was growing up. I didn't know what the poem was until I was in high school, and when I read it for the first time in the classroom, I suddenly felt like I had tapped into a literary history that was both much larger than me and something that I was a part of.
