re: What hooked you on reading & what is the first book you remember reading?

My grandma got me the 3rd Harry Potter book for Christmas in 5th grade. I remember thinking it was a dumb book for little kids and grandma had fallen off her rocker.

Got grounded a few months later for riding a scooter without a helmet and had nothing else to do but read that book. Was hooked from then on. Thanks grandma!
