Which author started it all for you?

[Harmony Hills]

Aesop and a Math book. I realized that i could learn by reading HAHA.

[Ren B]

I suppose whoever started the Berenstain Bears. As a child, my mother took me to the library each week. I didn't understand why I couldn't check them all out.

Chinua Achebe started it all for me with the book titled "Things Fall Apart".

[ReviewerDiksha]

Sherlock Holmes. I fell in love with the crime solving genre and everthing. And then came Harry Potter. And mystery and magic and dragons. I couldn't come out of it then.

[Sabina G]

Roald Dahl with his short story "The Way Up to Heaven". It started my love for incredible plot twists.

[RegularGuy3]

It wasn't a single author. My parents bought me a roughly 100-volume series of The Hardy Boys when I was young. I burned through most of them in a spring and summer. I don't recall ever reading for pleasure before then.

[Cloe101]

Charles Dickens for me

[Mindi]

I guess I would have to go back to my childhood and say that Ann M. Martin books were what I started with. Baby-sitters Club and Baby-sitters Little Sister were my first favorite books to read.

[Diana Welch]

The first book that I spent a time which made me turn into a geek in "The Mist" by Stephen Kings

[Sally_Heart]

R. L. Stine. All I ever read when I was 13 were goosebumps or fearstreet. It was definitely a good time.

[Cindy864]

J.K. Rowling

[prenaramesh]

Enid Blyton! When I was about 7

[ixora]

For me it was Judith McNaught. Her books are seriously magical.

[Susan Karimi]

Godfrey Ipale

[Shayaree Chanda]

The 12 set of Disney books of the princess stories to panchatantra and jataka tales, started it all for me. I started reading when I was quite young and narrated these stories to my friends. It used to be fun when they find a movie or a tv show that showcases these stories that I narrated to them. They used to ask how do I know the story before it was even a movie. I loved to keep my secrets though they eventually figured it out later.
