Edward is Only a Fish
The Car Goes Up
Orson's Farm

And The Day My Bum Went Psycho, which I maintain is a finer series of books than any before or since. It is a masterpiece of poignancy and hilarity.

Don't judge me!

I didn't like readin at the time, but when I was 14 or something, I've started reading this to impress a girl. I was kinda impressed by the book (I was 14 or 15 ok?) but I didn't feel that it changed something in me, but for some reason, after this book, I started actually reading for pleasure.
Strange.

THE EARLIEST MEMORY OF MYSELF READING A BOOK THAT I CAN RECOLLECT IS ABOUT READING A BIG BOOK WITH GREEN HARCOVERS THAT WAS TITLED "READERS' DIGEST OF THE OCCULT AND THE STRANGE" THAT MY FATHER GAVE TO ME WHEN I WAS CIRCA SEVEN YEARS OF AGE. I STILL HAVE IT.

Pic somewhat related. It was a picture book about cats that the book itself was in shape of a cat. The title was simply: "cats."

The text went on in the style of "little kittens like warm milk too."

I was three.

I sometimes forget these little things he did when I was young when I want to hate him for being silly for doing something I don't like but then I think back to the countless hours, months and years he spent reading this outrageously long epic to me.

Also the first book I read on my own was a Hardy Boys book (My dad got me the entire set when I turned 6.. I feel like a jerk now for ever hating him)

If you can remember the first book you read, you are probably under-read imo.
