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. The next day i went out and brought 'death on the nile' and the 'murder of Rodger Ackroyd' and this started my Agatha Christie collection and consequently my love affair with Hercules Poirot and Agatha. Once i had read nearly everything that she had ever written i decided to try out other authors. I will always be indebted to Agatha Christie, without her i might never have experienced the true delight's that i get from reading an amazing book. I have watched a few films of books that i have read, and never ever have they compared to the version that i read, and imagined whilst reading the book, i have always found my imagination and the authors wording far superior to any film that i have watched. I would definitely rather read the book version than watch the film, everytime.
