When you were little.
I started reading Mythology, Fantasy, SciFi, Shakespeare, Poe, Hawthorne, and the like in grade school. Early grade school. I didn't start reading comic books until High School. I may have done things backwards.... |

 I can recall reading Pinochio when I was about 6 years old. Probably the first book I read.I can recall reading westerns in late elementary school. then a lot of sci fi. Then fantasy. Then horror novels.

I read Archie and Jughead.
 I also remember reading my mom's 'True Confessions' magazines. Looking back, I wonder why she didn't take them from me.  I guess that explains why I'm on this fine site.

My mom was kinda clueless about my books. She bought me a Gor book to keep me quiet when traveling. It had a guy w/ a sword. She didn't know what was inside it. I didn't tell her..... But she took Pet Cemetery away from me that same summer. Since she had read that one. Dang, she had no clue what I was reading. Pet Cemetery was nothing compared to the other stuff I've red.

the only book my mother ever asked me not to read was "the exorcist".
i was in third grade...i read about half when i decided i agreed with her and put it down. my mom bought me any book i wanted. poor as dirt, but i had books coming out my ears. she even found out when the local bookstore threw out its books as destroyed and went and picked them up. i put down "the exorcist" and picked up a darkover novel by marion zimmer bradley...and that's where i found my true love: fantasy. |

 Great Post BTW! Poe, Hawthorne, Emerson, and of course Willy, Loved the humor and andventure of Twain...but Having recently moved, I rediscovered the original copy of Thoreau's Walden that my father gave me when I was 10. I have done this periodically through the years and darnit if I don't ALWAYS discover something new. There is no such thing as a favorite book, but for me, "Walden" is as close as it gets. |

I used to get in trouble when I would get caught reading under the blankets with a flashlight when I was supposed to be sleeping.

My first real reading was Hardy Boys. Encyclopedia Brown was fun too. I remember awaiting every new release. Around 2nd grade I read L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time which got me started on fantasy and sci-fi... Heinlein and Bradbury at first.
