The Reading Parent has been a high school English teacher for over 20 years, a parent for over 10 years, an employee in the greatest comics store in Austin TX for over 3 years, and a constant reader for over 35 years. All of that stuff is going on at the same time, so you can’t add the numbers up to get his age. Although some days, it may feel like you could multiply them. RP also writes under his alias, Daniel J. Rucker.
