When did you find your love for books? MightyYT Send a noteboard - 11/09/2009 07:16:53 AM
Haggard's post about reading in schools got me thinking about when I started reading.

I found my love from two books at about the same time.

My mom used to drag me to bookstores when I was young. I hated going. Couldn't stand books and she would spend HOURS browsing around. One time in May, when I was 12 or 13, we were there and I found Star Wars: Heir to the Empire by Timothy Zahn. I loved the movies and figured "why not try a book", just to see what's going on. I got home and flew through the book in two days.

The next was just a couple of months later. I was visiting my older brother during summer vacation and was bored a lot. He is a Marine and was at work much of the day. After three days, he suggested I read one of his books. It was Melanie Rawn's Dragon Prince. It was completely unlike anything I had read or heard about before. I tore the book up, burned the midnight oil, got lost in a land beyond imagination....and got hooked.

So when did all of you find your love of books?
Castle: This is so weird. I dressed up as him for Halloween.

Beckett: Me too.
