I was cleaning out my office, last night, and i came across the first book that I ever bought for myself, with my own money. I paid, I think, about $3.00, and I was in the fourth grade. It is called The Hero From Otherwhere, and was written by Jay Williams, also the author of the Danny Dunn series of youth novels. This was not my gateway book to science fiction and fantasy. That was I, Robot, and Other Stories, by Doctor Asimov. My father left it sitting on the coffee table for about a week before I noticed it and began to read. I started kindergarten that year, and the following summer, I read, The Hobbit. I thought it was real, because of the way it was written---I was only five, so don't laugh too hard at me---and my mother warned me against believing everything I read. I would be interested in reading what anyone has to say in this vein.
