IDK, but A Confederacay of Dunces ended it. Its hard to read now knowing nothing will ever come close to that masterpiece.

I read Matt Christopher books as a kid that really made me love reading. Parents wouldn't always buy me toys when we went to the mall, but I could always get books.
Probably the coolest was reading Sphere for the first time over the course of two days while stuck in a trailer at Toledo Bend during a torrential thunderstorm. I was probably 12 years old. Perfect book, perfect setting.

My grandfather gave me his entire collection of all the Hardy Boys books when I was in the fourth grade. I read and loved them all. When I was in the fifth grade my best friend's mom loaned me her copy of The Hobbit, and I have always been reading something or the other ever since!

I started reading very young too. I loved reading The Babysitters Club series and Charlotte's Web.
The first adult books I read were The Flowers in the Attic series and Prince of Tides and several Belva Plain books.

I read the Laura Engalls series when I was really young.

Probably Over Sea, Under Stone, by Susan Cooper, or Taran Wanderer, by Lloyd Alexander.
Though, honestly, I was a pretty voracious reader at an even earlier age than when I read those, so maybe even the Berenstein Bears or Tangle and the Fire Sticks or The True Story of the Three Little Pigs or any of a handful of Dr. Seuss.

I hated that book to the point that I could only get about halfway through. Different strokes, I guess.Posted on 11/29/14 at 1:58 pm to lsufan9193969700
The first few that I remember were The Trumpet and the Swan, The Hobbit, and Charlotte's Web. After I read every S.E.Hinton and Lois Duncan book I could get my hands on, I became a Stephen King, Dean Koontz junkie as a teen.

Scar Tissue. The autobiography of Red Hot Chili Peppers lead singer Anthony Kiedis.

The first book I read that got me into pleasure reading in my free time was Dragon's Blood by Jane Yolen which I read in the second or first grade. After that I started to read for 1-3 hours every night before going to sleep until I got to high school when I started screwing around and got distracted. I didn't start reading a lot in my free time again until I got to college. I think it's one of the best leisure time activities. It exercises the mind and expands vocabulary.
