re: What book really sparked your love of reading.

Hank the Cowdog and Calvin and Hobbes were the first in my preteens. That turned into comic books till early Jr. High.

After that I went nuts and won the top reader award in points off of the Accelerated Reader tests we could take in school till my Sophomore year. In that the Redwall series, CS Lewis, Tolkein, Wheel of Time, Dragonlance series, Wrinkle in Time, etc.

Then sports, girls, and life took that away till I turned about 28. Read a few Christian books in college, but that was it.

Around then, I was at my in laws at Christmas and my FiL had a few Brad Thor and Vince Flynn books that I picked up and tore through.

Since then I've read all of Vince Flynn, GRRM, Michael Connely, Brad Thor, Lee Childs, Kingskiller Chrinicles, Harry Potter, Hunger Games, Gillian Flynn, David Balducci, and so on.

Probably read about 100+ books since that flip about 4 years ago. During the summer I usually do about 1-3 a month, but winter months I knock out about 2 a week.
