honestly, probably harry potter. im the perfect age for that series and that shite is amazing. the first fewer are basically children's books and the rest explore a ton of dark themes and some really interesting stuff.
has anyone on here ever read any of the chip hilton sports series? coach clair bee wrote them in like the 50s but they "remastered" them and released them again in the 90s. awesome sports books with some serious moral grounding. highly recommend them to anyone with kids aged 8-14ish. there are 24.
my main reading love is nonfiction sports books probably. shite like hoop dreams and season on the brink. i also pretty much enjoyed everything assigned in school growing up and did a ton of outside reading based on those authors and some teacher recommendations.
possibly my favorite book ever is The World According to Garp.

But, before that I read almost every volume of the Chip Hilton Series. They are books in which Chip and his buddies are playing sports and overcoming different adversities.
just read through and saw this after posting.
chip hilton is the best. have read all 24 of those bad boys about 10 times. have yet to meet anybody who has read them and very, very few people even know what they are.

The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe at age 13/14. Was not a big reader before then but my dad had a rule in high school of no tv after 6 on weak nights. I picked up The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe out of boredom and read it one sitting. I proceeded to read the remaining 6 books in the Chronicles of Narnia over the next 6 days. I was hooked after that. I read 60 books one year of high school - I kept track for fun.

I have no clue what spurred my interest, and I truly don't care; I am just happy that I am not like most of the retards that think reading is a waste of time, or that there is not enough time to read.

The hobbit or Princess Bride. My sister was seven years older than I was, so whatever she was reading around seventh or eight grade was among the first "real" books I picked up.

I have never read The Princess Bride. Is the book any different than the movie?

Hemingway, The Old Man and the Sea, 7th grade.
Grabbed it off the shelf because it looked short and I needed to do a book report the next day.
Also, the questions the teacher asked me the next day taught me to think about the deeper meaning of Hemingway's, or any, story. IOW, it was more than just a great tale about an old man catching a big fish and trying to get it home.

Gullivers travel in 3rd grade (kid book). The Hobbit in 7th grade kinda awakened that love for reading again.

My great grandma got me Harry Potter for Christmas one year, and since I was way more into video games and TV, it got put on the shelf for quite a while. I guess I was about 10 or 11 when I got caught watching Hotel Erotica on Cinemax... Of course I was grounded for months. Started reading Harry Potter since I had nothing else to do and became completely hooked.

The Hardy Boys Mystery series. I read them over and over and over.
Reading is one of the great pleasures in life.

Three Billy Goats Gruff. It was then rekindled by The Man in the High Castle in high school.
