Alice Ozma and her librarian father started a tradition of him reading to her every night. At first they agreed to do it for one hundred nights--but then decided to keep going and made it past one thousand into a streak that lasted until she went to college. What I was expecting was a book about books--and a discussion of what books he read. What the book turned out to be was a sweet memoir about being raised by a single Dad who happens to be an extraordinary librarian and an interesting character. The book is about how the act of reading brought them closer. Un padre e una figlia, si ripromettono di leggere, tutte le sere prima di mezzanotte, qualche pagine di un libro..I libri faranno da collante tra questi due affetti, un modo per stare insieme, per conoscersi meglio, un attimo, che resterà per sempre nella loro vita... Leggere non è mai una perdita di tempo, condividerli con gli altri...è il massimo..!! Leggete con i vostri figli....
It started out as an ambitious, but achievable, task. A father would read to his nine-year-old daughter 100 nights in a row. Celebrating their victory over breakfast at their favorite greasy spoon, however, the daughter proposed a new challenge, one with a Scheherazadean twist. Why not read for 1,000 nights? But Jim Brozina and his daughter Alice didn't stop at 1,000, just like they didn't stop when Alice's mother ended the marriage, or when her older sister went abroad for a year, or when Alice went to the prom. Only one thing could terminate their routine. When Jim moved Alice into her dorm room, some 3,218 nights later, the Streak, as they called it, came to an end. Ozma has written a memoir as rich and revealing, witty and warm, confident and compassionate as works by people who may have been around a few more blocks but who probably haven't read as many books.
Named for two literary characters ("Alice" from Lewis Carroll and "Ozma" from L. Frank Baum), the author is the daughter of a Philadelphia-area elementary school librarian. Father and daughter embarked on a streak of reading-out-loud sessions every night before bed as Ozma was growing up--a "streak" that would continue for eight years straight.

Ozma shares the close relationship she developed over the years with her librarian father and how they started their reading streak. She also comments in almost sterile observations about her mother, her mom's detachment as she withdraws from the family, and the matter-of-fact way that she leaves the home.
The books Ozma's father reads to her over the years become more mature as she ages, but Ozma and her father never hesitate to revisit old favorites from the past. From Pinnochio to L. Frank Baum's OZ books to the Harry Potter series, there are plenty of choices provided to suggest a reading list for your own children or grandchildren, with plenty of encouragement to do just that.
