I know I read Enid Blyton's The Magic Faraway Tree etc.. and I remember reading Go Dog Go which was awesome. I think we were always readers in our family back then.
But I like to think my younger reader's abridged versions of classics like Treasure Island and A Tale of Two Cities etc.. were the real catalysts mainly because I think they were the first books that I picked out and that were specifically bought for me. The rest were "hand-me-downs" from my sisters.
