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

A land remembered by Patrick Smith. Amazing book, probably have read it 4 times now.

As an audult, lonesome dove brought me back to reading. Didn't really get into reading until I completed that one at 23. I dont recall reading for pleasure from ages 15 to 23. Sure for school.... I'm a binge reader now, where when I do read, I may read 4 books in a month and none for a couple. Rinse and repeat. Usually reading series books like Michael Connelly's.
