My first regularly-read books were things like Curious George. (No, I'm not going to see the movie.) Then I started reading mostly comics... but as many of those were Classics Illustrated, I soon started buying the original lit of the Classics comics, most notably the works of Wells and Verne.
That (plus a school reading of A Stitch in Time) got me into SF, which pushed me into the Bradbury catalog, then the Clarke catalog, then Star Trek, then (thanks to a not-so-exciting trip to the grandparents' one weekend) to Doc Savage.
