re: What book really sparked your love of reading.

Loved reading all my life. My second grade teacher recommended American Educator encyclopedias to my mother and we bought a set. Got a yearbook from them for the next ten years with all the important events of that year.

My dad was a voracious reader, so I read whatever he had just finished. I read 'Ball Four' at age ten and 'Huey Long' soon after, so I was way ahead of my age level.

I have several hundred books in my sight as I type this.
