I would say it was reading The Hobbit at age 10 and being completely enthralled. It made me want to have adventures.

1982, our school forced us to do a newspaper and magazine recycling drive for prizes... so we busted into buildings stealing tonnes of papers from incinerator
rooms rather than door to door begging.
We hit the motherload. Some caretaker had a box of hundreds of skin mags. We read until we went blind. |

Three times, all of them equally great:
1. The Ministry rooms in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I thought Hermione was going to die! 2. The Cave chapter in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Best chapter ever - oh the suspense! 3. House-elves fighting in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It was 3 in the morning and I had to cheer out loud when they burst out of the kitchen. |

Haven't read any major heavy books lately, the ones that stand out the most from the last few years is the Song Of Ice & Fire series, which I totally
expected to hate but actually got really into.

As a kid - Little House on the Prairie. I sooooo wanted to be a pioneer.
Clan of the Cave Bear series. Still waiting for book six. The movie sucked. |

Every reading experience is unique. I read Stephen Kings Bag of Bones last weekend and really enjoyed it... but I would have to say the best experience for me
would have to be the discovery of soft porn in "historical" romance novels when I was 13.
Kathleen Woodiwiss.. The Flame and the Flower. That book was passed around to every girl in my 7th grade class. |

In Grade 8 we all had to do monthly book reports. Pretty much every boy in class would review one of these Mack Bolan: The Executioner books:
A portion of the book report would be reading passages aloud to the class , so after a while our teacher decided she'd heard enough tales of gory deaths
, dismemberment and torture and she BANNED any more reviews on the Mack Bolan series. I think they still even produce these books.
