[QUOTE="Elf Witch, post: 5728342, member: 9037"] I grew up in a home without books my mom hated them and was always yelling for me to get my nose out of them. I got books from the school library and the earliest ones I remember were the Little House books, Black Beauty , Nancy Drew and the Alfred Hitchcock books for kids. The first books I ever bought were the TV tie ins for Dark Shadows and from those came my love of Gothic romances. I still scour used bookstores and ebay for them today. My other love was Star Trek and when the James Blish novelizations of the scripts came out I bought those. I noticed that on the spine it said SF so the next time I was in the bookstore I wandered over and picked up Red Planet by Robert Heinlein I was hooked. I read all his juveniles then found Arthur C Clark and Issac Asimov. My therapist introduced me to the Narnia books when I was 16 and when I was 19 I was introduced to Anne McCaffrey and Marion Zimmer Bradley. And I have been reading SF and Fantasy ever since.
