I was eleven back then and all I had read before Harry Potter was a couple of local comic magazines. I haven't read any book in the series for ages now but I'm so grateful to her for providing my eleven-year-old heart with the potterverse! At the time, it was the only place I could call home!

I never had Dr Seuss growing up, but I read him to my two daughters now and we all adore his work together. It really is an astounding body of work and, as you say, timeless. My particular favourites are the lorax and the horton stories...

But I do remember reading Stephen King for first time (The Stand - I found it at a garage sake) and feeling like "Oh wow...so this is what reading can be like!)
I also like to credit this discovery of King for my disinterest in the Harry Potter books. As I like to say "Harry and his little problems are nothing compared to The Losers Club dealing with Pennywise"

'murder on the Orient express' by the late great Agatha Christie. I was completely hooked, and finished the book in 6 Hours, only stopping for toilet break's
