My mother claims the book that got me into reading was Terry Brooks'
Hook, which she got after I enjoyed the movie.
Eh. I don't get the snobbery about genres some people do. I remember some guy showing up on the alt.fan.pratchett newsgroup to argue that Discworld books were not actually fantasy, but instead satire, as if genreas were mutually exclusive. He said he couldn't admit to his friends he was reading fantasy.
