About to start the new collection of Kate Atkinson short stories. My gateway drug was Enid Blyton (probably typical for someone of my age in the UK).

I, robot from Asimov. My older cousin gifted me a novel called: “in the land of the mammoths” when i was 9 years old. This started a lifetime obsession with literature for me. I am 33 currently and i have finished thousands of books, but this particular novel was the start.

“Trail of the Lost”, about searching for long lost hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail. Before that it was a novel. I read novels, history and other nonfiction. I started reading before I started grade school. My dad would sit me on his lap and read the newspaper to me, pointing out words. Comic books, like Donald Duck and Superman were my early favorites. I’ve always read.

Same here, on part 3.

I’m reading Animal Dreams by Barbra Kingsolver, it’s my third of her books this year after reading Demon Copperhead and then The Poisonwood Bible.

I’ve been a lifelong reader, loving books since before I can remember.

The Creature from Jekyll Island because my co-worker can’t take a hint.

My parents would read to me, and that’s how I got into reading.

The Weight of Lies by Emily Carpenter

Just finished: The Devil’s Diary by Robert K. Wittman

And about to start: Killing the SS by Bill O’Reilly

Edit to answer question: I’ve never not read. Books have always been in my life, house, etc. My dad used to read to me when I was small and I never stopped.

Currently reading (kind of. I’ve been on a break for a few weeks) Caesar’s Women by Colleen Mccullough.

Got into reading for pleasure when my middle school had a library sale and I saw my favorite movie was a book that was only 50 cents. All credit to Treasure Island and shitty school funding.

Right now reading through the wheel of time books for the first time. It’s book 5 of the series and I have been enjoying it so far

I’m currently reading The Burnout by Sophie Kinsella because I needed a fun, easy read. I’ve been reading for as long as I can remember. Was easy entertainment as an only kid, the library was free, and I’ve never stopped.

Currently reading Exit Strategy by Martha Wells.

I got into reading as a small child when my grandmother taught me to read.

By Tooth and Claw. I got into it because I was looking for books about dinosaurs and found one where a magical dinosaur race are fighting against a race of lion people with magic dancers. I love it.

The setting sun -osamu dazai. I started reading it after I watched a biography movie about the author.

Tell the Wolves I’m Home (over 20% in and would recommend.)

I was in a relationship at the time and kept talking about wanting to try reading, so my boyfriend bought me a copy of the top seller of the day …The Davinci Code. (It was a bit cheesy at times but I still enjoyed the ride.) That kickstarted everything.

Our parents always read to us. I learned to read in kindergarten and always read books, growing up.

I learned to read French in school. Started reading French books in college.

I finally joined a book club a couple of years ago, which has been fun because it’s a great group of open-minded friends.

Currently reading:

“Mémoires d’Hadrien” (Hadrian’s Memoirs) by Marguerite Yourcenar. A highly praised, fictional account of the Roman emperor, looking back on his life. Hadrian was one of the five best Roman emperors, say historians.

It’s a bit of a slow moving slog, but it’s well written and I’m learning a lot about Roman history.
