When I was nine years old I started reading every Nancy Drew and Hardy Boys book there was!  So, it was no particular title, it was the whole series.

 :( I hate books...I love articles. Books go and go...Chapters, more chapters... some times I do not like what they are writing about. Articles are
synopsis...condensed version of a text: a summary...now, that is better, much, much better than a whole book! And that is what I like!

Oh Boy

I think I was born to read

I can't remember the first thing I ever read

Dr Suess?

Probably Mark Twain got me going on the novels

Enders Game by Orson Scott Card. Also pretty much anything by Clive Cussler.

AHHHH
Clive....Clive

I used to have the complete Dirk Pitt collection

I quit when his kids came into the pic

Traded my whole collection for Larry Murtry Novels and never looked back

He's probably supporting an alcoholic son and a crackhead Mom by now

OH Grandpa Dirk
where is Sanders when you need him most?

LOL

I grew up across from a library in a tiny Indiana town. I could literally walk down my drive way, cross a street and go in the front door. I think I read all the books in there but my favorite were the kid's mystery series -Nanvy Drew, Hardy Boys and the Bobbsey Twins! Lots of books.

I used to read alot of Dean R. Koontz. I only read those books, 4 times a year, at a poll. I simply do not have time. I read and type the Bible now.
