When I was a little kid. Dr. Seuss made reading fun and my school encouraged it and we always Dr. Seuss day which we would read a Dr. Seuss book.


message 6: by Teresa (new)

Teresa (maeven) A family member gave me the whole set of Dr Seuss books when I was in elementary school and I've been a read-a-holic ever since. After that I wanted to read everything from cereal boxes to signs on the side of the road. lol What a strange kid.


message 7: by [deleted user] (new)

Books are my television. Since I was four or five I began to read, never really stopped after that. By sixth grade I could read high school level books and right now I read adult fiction. But I'm a fantasy geek.

Well, ya know I was probably around six and didn't know the difference at the time. And that would've made me somewhat of a beginner. I guess it was appropriate! :D

message 19: by Gabby (new)

Gabby (niteluna) I've loved reading ever since I can remember (which my family thinks is weird because none of them like to read XD )... My mom says I used to love Beauty and the Beast just because Belle loved to read. When I was younger I used to read little kid books but I've always had a really high reading level for my age and I got really really into reading in elementary school... lol XD


message 20: by Heather B (new)

Heather B (heatherbenson) I honestly can't remember what got me into reading. I've loved to read for as long as I can remember, although I've never been great at reading and I'm a fairly slow reader. I guess that it started out with reading story books when I was really little, I read them all the time and my favourites I would read so much that I could have resited every word of the book without even opening it. So I guess that I've just always loved to read.


message 21: by ♠Miriam♠ (new)

♠Miriam♠ (mirizzle) | 37 comments i don't know how i started 2 read. i just read anything that seems intersting.


message 22: by Cecilia (new)

Cecilia (cissygold) I always loved to read, but I really got hooked in college. There was a room in our library that was just for personal reading. NO TEXTBOOKS ALLOWED. There were so many wonderful books in there, books I only heard about and books I always wanted to read. It was paradise.


message 23: by ♠Miriam♠ (new)

♠Miriam♠ (mirizzle) | 37 comments lol sounds like fun.


message 24: by Cecilia (new)

Cecilia (cissygold) Yeah! My major had me reading a ton of novels, so I would sneak in there because it had the big cozy chairs. I would tell myself if I finished the required novel I could read one of the books in there. But wouldn't you know it, a semester or two later the non-required book would be assigned. I would be ahead of game so I would pick another book... then guess what would happen the next semester. LOL! it went on and on like that. It was fun!

But what I really loved was getting a stack pass... I got to go into the underground stacks of DOE and that was heaven. I once found a first addition Rudyard Kipling Jungle Book... I spent a whole rainy day in there reading it. When I came out my room mate told me I smelled like mothballs... It is one of my fondest memories from school.

message 33: by Michelle (new)

Michelle Cortez lol i was 13 i think when i started reading. my mom kept dragin me every wheres and i never had time to learn how to read at that age. ((i failed kindergarden twice. and 5th grade twice.)) when i was in 6th grade thats when i started reading. i tought myself how to read. i finally got to sit down and read when i lived with my grandmother.
one day. i sat down infront of her and i cryed. i told her i hated living with my mother and i asked her if she can take me away. so.. well wen i was 15 my grandmother adopted me.

ahaha thats like me, I reread the first chapter of the first Harry Potter book so manytimes, that I had the whole first page memorized :P And it's the same with music for me, I can listen to a song once and know most of the lyrics.


message 37: by Michelle (new)
