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

My mom read to my 2 brothers and I every night. I can remember when she started reading Where the Red Fern Grows and how she cried at the end. I picked it up and read it again in 4th grade for accelerated reading program and I started to cry. To this day, it's probably the most memorable book I've ever read, and what hooked me.
