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

I struggled with dyslexia throughout my childhood. I hated reading especially the crap they were pushing in my school. Once I read the Hobbit, I was hooked. When the fellowship entered the Doors of Durin into Moria, the words started flying off the page. It's still my favorite set of books and I read them about once a year.
