My first real, real reading adventures:

Danny Dunn, the Invisible Boy. (I LOVED the Danny Dunn books!)

The first three Tarzan books. My mom bought them for me at a rummage sale so that I would keep quiet while she looked for deals. I was around 10 years old, so that was pretty hefty reading for me.

And in my teens, my favorite books of all time were from the Book of the New Sun series by Gene Wolfe. I've read the first book from that series, The Shadow of the Torturer, several times since then.

Ahhh, the good ole days before bills and mortgages...
