Oh god, it's depressing, isn't it? It can't be genetic, since your sister - poor thing - doesn't have the reading bug, but I was convinced it was. None of my siblings (who are in fact my half-siblings) appear to read, and I was sure that was due to their father's malign influence, since my mother reads quite a lot. It's complete crap, even by my standards, but she does consume a lot of books. Looks like I have to chuck the genetic theory out, alas, though.
Hm, maybe it's "big sister" syndrome in my family. Since I am the eldest, and the geek, none of the others want(ed) to be like her (moi, that is). Even my youngest sister, who I'm convinced would be a big old dyke if it weren't for yours truly, although she's pretty similar to me in lots of other ways.[/ramble]
