Which author started it all for you?

Jack London, I remember reading the abridged classic at around 4-5 years old "The Call of the Wild" and from that moment forward I have never been able to find a medium which I enjoyed nearly as much as reading.

R.L. Stine. I was reading Fear Street as a kid--not Goosebumps. I grew up on Fear Street. Horror and thrillers stuck with me ever since.

For me it was S. King!

I've always loved to read, whether it was books or magazines, or writing/making up my own stories. But, I think it was Dragonlance by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman that really got me hooked (into a series, anyway). Of course, any book that involved horses or dragons when I was a kid had me hooked.

For me, it was the Enid Blyton books like the famous five and the secret seven series. I loved and still enjoy reading those books.

I preferred her fantasy ones, The Wishing Chair & The Faraway Tree - those books were so hugely imaginative

Roald Dahl is definitely another one in that category for me. After reading George's Marvellous Medicine I was rifling through my mum's kitchen cupboards for weeks heheh.

As a very young child, I read the The Miss Flora McFlimsey books by Mariana with my mother. They ignited a fire within my soul for reading that has never wavered.

Enid Blyton. As a kid, my school library was filled with Blytons books.

I don't really have a certain author that got me into reading, because I was always just into reading (if that makes any sense). I believe that the library in general is what got me into reading. I don't know why, but every time I go to the library, there's always a book I want to read. I can't leave the library without checking out a book (or multiple books).

My brother had a closet full of science fiction paperbacks. I read them all. Authors were unimportant but Asimov stands out as one I remember. Reading has always been an avocation for me.

[Naval Aulakh]

I used to read books when I was a kid but I read The Secret when I was 15 and that got me into reading.

For me it was Stephen King!!!
