You were a non-reader, preferring to watch movies and series rather than touch a book.

But then, someone recommends a novel they think you’ll like, you flip through it and love it!

In case it’s the first part of a trilogy or series, and you decide to read the whole series (or at least read all the parts you get your hands on and, in case you can’t get your hands on the last ones, you decide to look for spoilers on the internet).

That was my experience with Warriors by Erin Hunter.

What’s yours?

    I think it was the Harry potter series. First series I read because I wanted it.

    The World of Pooh by A. A. Milne. Aged about 3, going on 4. It’s Winnie the Pooh and The House At Pooh Corner bound into a single, lovely hardback book with a map of The Hundrd Aker Wood inside the cover.

    Gateway drug into a life of addiction without a hint of rehabilitation. I think I am past salvation now.

    I read a lot of Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Encyclopedia Brown, etc books as a youth. However the first book I remember going out of my way to find and read was Christine by Stephen King.

    My first series was probably Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan books.

    I read a lot of Andre Norton back in the day as well, but I think they were all one-off novels. Been a while.

    Well, Harriet the Spy. But if you mean like “serious business” after elementary school lol LOTR was probably the first of those.
