My absolute favorite first series was T.A. Barron's The Lost Years of Merlin series, a book series in which the first three were given to me for Christmas just before I turned ten by my new adopted brother. Ever since then I've been hassled to do much else but read. I did take up martial arts for that reason but even then I was reading about the history of the lineage, how the style was formed, about the weaponry of that time, and the language (in this case, Japanese) that we actually used.
When I was nine I also gained an interest in writing. I eventually turned a one-paged paper my older (bio half) brother and I worked on when we spent a very rare night sleeping over into a 70-odd paged book that I wasn't finished writing. Unfortunately during a move it got water damage and it was my only copy (written, of all manners of documentation, as I didn't have much access to a computer).
I then used writing as a culminating project (something that had to be completed and passed early in the senior year to graduate), because my teachers all insisted I stopped spending so much time reading and writing (yes my school work was completed, it was always completed early).... I thought, they weren't allowed to sabotage my love for literacy then... I was wrong, but at least I gave it a shot. I turned the culminating project (532-paged book) eventually into a trilogy after my senior year. Meanwhile I found many wonderful books that taught me so much, and showed me worlds I often wished I could visit.

As a virtual only child, books were a huge part of growing up.
