The first book you read?

[A, Crazy.]

Which was the first "real" book you read. I don't mean those picture books or comics or such stuff. Which is the first novel you read and when did you read it?

My first real book was the Happy Potter series. I was maybe 10 or 11, and I red 1 through 4 in one month, really got me hooked to reading

Read at the age of 13..enjoyed it greatly but understood it's full ideology much later ...!!!!!!!

I was always fond of reading comics and fairy tales as a kid. I used to love Archie comics and Roald Dahl books. But, the first proper book I read was David Copperfield when I was in sixth grade.

What? U read the second book first?

[A, Crazy.]

I read the fourth book first in the HP series (because at that time I was obsessed with all things Robert Pattinson and he played Cedric in the movie...) then when I realized how much I loved it, I read the whole series in one go:))

[A, Crazy.]

Mu first book is Famous Five (the 13th book) and I read it at the age of 8....when I was in 3rd std. Loved it so much that I read all the 21 books maybe 4-5 times....nid Blyton's wholly responsible for making me love to read:))

[Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*]

No way I can remember, started reading young and reading a lot early.

[Twila]

My first real book, and first book love of many, was Eragon.
I've must have read it like 7 times by now.

[Rahul]

The first book I read was, The reign of Napoleon Bonaparte. Read it twice within a week. The funniest thing was, I was having exams that week. Lol. :D

[[deleted user]]

Either The Egg and I or Forever Amber

[Marina]

I think my first one must have been Hans Brinker, or the Silver Skates - or, at least, it's the first one I remember reading. I must have been 7 or 8.

[Melissa]

Harry Potter was my first real series...but I got hooked on the Goosebumps series too, around the end of second grade. I read every. Single. Book - and the school librarian even knew me by name at that point - she'd direct me straight to RL Stine!

The VERY first book I remember reading was "Click Clack Moo: Cows That Type". :)

[Mansi]

Nancy Drew series in school library.Just loved those books

[Cra-Z Unicorn]

I read the Wings of Fire series. Read the first five in a week! They are really good

[Sam]

The first novel I read was Hurry Home Candy it was about an abandoned puppy dog and it is one of only a few things I did with my mum together. She read a page or two then I would. I was very small maybe 7 ? Not sure but we read it in the first house I lived in. I always felt it was as much about cruelty of humans as well as being a dogs story. I remember hoping I'd find the happiness that candy found sadly it remains elusive
