The Book That Made You Fall In Love With Reading

[Gretchen]

No book but my parents. Both readers as well as every one of my 5 siblings. Reading was important in our family

. This series had me hooked. Loved it.

My mom gave me Nancy Drew books which started my love of reading. They were my daughter's favorite books when she was little.

[Kerry]

I borrowed the Complete Casebook of Sherlock Holmes when I was bout thirteen. My first 'adult' book. Loved it!

Crime thrillers have been my 'bag' ever since. :)

Hardy Boys! As I read, I had pictures of Frank and Joe and friends in my mind. It opened up my imagination as a reader.

What was the name of the book?? I feel ashamed now..I have always loved reading the assigned books we got in school. A lot more than my peers. It was much later when i figured that reading for myself could be fun. The book was called "Girl in pieces" i think.

Dr Seuss, Nancy Drew, Big Red by Jim Kjelgaard, and The Dark is Rising sequence by Susan Cooper

Interesting, Jo, yeah most of the people I know (including me) really really disliked assigned reading

I used to be teased because I would bring personal books to school. So many of my classmates did not think reading was "fun". But I grew up in a house FULL of books. My parents told me I got mad because when I got to school (kindergarten) they wouldn't teach me to read... so I taught myself.
