What book started your passion for reading?

[Charlyt]

What was the book that made you into a bookworm? How old were you then? How did you feel when you were reading or finished reading the book?

I don’t remember how old I was when I first had a profound love for reading but all I can remember was I was very little and would love to go the library at lunch breaks at school. I would sit reading until the bell rang. As a teenager I was homeschooled and my dad would buy me second hand novels that were around 600 pages long, I loved those books sooo much! I guess I was very little when I started to enjoy books and then as I grew older my passion grew.

Although I always liked reading, my favorite book that made me a reader was Nancy Drew's 'The mystery at the Lilac Inn' by Caroline Keene. I was probably about 9 when I read it.

When I first started reading, my mother would let me buy several Little Golden Books every time she went to the beauty parlor. I would read while she had her hair done. I loved it.

[Alice Thokchom]

I don't actually remember when I pick up reading. I started with comics, short stories, pictorial fantasy books. I literally read almost everything from any inscription to the back of any package, shampoo bottle, labels... Everything! I think, reading is my inborn gift.

[Jolyon Trevelyan]

Don`t remember the book but it was probably a Roald Dahl book when i was 10-11 years old.

[Amy Murdoch Coleman]

I definitely got hooked on the Junie B. Jones series when I was in about first grade, and haven't been able to stay away from books ever since.

[Amna Khalid]

I think it was 'The Forty Rules of Love by Elif Shafak'. I was 18 years old. It felt like I have done something meaningful in my life finally.

[Alexandur Gicov]

The first book I had to read and it all started with was Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe.

[Tori_J]

The novel that made me start reading literature as I do now is Oliver Twist. It is an exceedingly intriguing book.

[Rosemary Owolabi]

M&B but I can't remember the the exact books.
My uncle' used to keep many books on crime and romance in his room and I used to go to his room to pick and just smell the nice books, check the front cover photos and leave.
By the time I started reading I found myself, picking more of the type of books my uncle used to read, weirdly.

The first fiction book I ever read, Percy Jackson and the Greek Gods by Rick Riordan began my passion for reading.

[Cwilde13]

The Redwall series by Brian Jacques started my passion for reading when I was in elementary school.

[Garden Lover]

Many years ago, my third grade teacher read "The Box Car Children" to the class, always stopping at a cliff hanger. This is how my obession began.

[Blessing O 2]

I can't remember when and what book but as far as I could remember my love for books started at high school.
