What was the first book you read that wasn't a school assignment?

The first book I read outside school work was "Red Rackham's Treasure" by Hergé. I was 10 years old.

"The Hungry Thing" is a children's book that I loved when I was younger.
For my first real book though, it was "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" a classic that got me on the fantasy track in elementary school

Me too. "Red Rackham's Treasure" is a children's book with alot of pictures from The Adventures of Tintin series. My first adult book was "Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone".

One of my first favorite books outside of school assignments was a children's version of "Black Beauty" because I was obsessed with horses as a child. Close behind that was "I Rode a Horse of Milk White Jade". I rode both several times, and as an adult as well.

The first book I read was "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe. I read it when I was 11 years old. Since then, I have grown to like the author and all his works.

Wow. That was a long time ago. I don't even remember what book it was. At the time I hadn't developed a good reading habit though. But it must have been good since my reading habit improved massively after that.
