Some retarded orange book; it was a book about counting oranges. I haven't read much since then...


I'm so bananas I'm showing up to your open casket,
to fill it up with explosive gases,
and close it back,
with a lit match in it,
while I sit back, and just hope it catches.

Blow you to fragments,
laugh,
roll you, and smoke the ashes.

Zork: The Malifestro Quest was the first book to give me a hard on. But it was far from being my first book.

Dark Shadows: Dreams of the Dark was the book I lost my virginity to.

I had a lot of Dr. Seuss books and Golden Books, but the first real book I read was Stephen King's IT in 1st grade. I definitely had a dictionary with me for that, but wow. I learned a lot, and I think it probably also ruined me.


RIP Hacker.

I remember my Grandmother making me read the bible when I was little.
Also, I had to read "My Book Of Bible Stories."
And, those "Scary Stories To Tell in The Dark" books.

Wow.... that kinda explains a lot about me...

Sorry it is hermetically sealed in a safe in my vast library along with: De Vermis Mysteriis, The Book of Eibon, Unaussprechlichen Kulten and Cards as weapons. It has never been scratched or sniffed as that would devalue this rare volume.

I know right! I would go over to any given shelf in any given classroom throughout elementary school and there would be no less than 3 of her books.
The first book I read that I still like today was Ender's Game in grade 6.

I can't remember half the actual names, but I know I had Goodnight Moon, Where the Wild Things Are, Old Man Up a Tree (that might not be the actual name, it's about a bum who climbs a tree and stupid people think has treasure up there for some reason), various Seuss books, lots of Richard Scary stuff, other stuff I can't remember.

QFT

I taught myself to read with Mouse and the Motorcycle and quickly moved on to Clearly's other books. Animorphs came soon after I believe.
