What got me into reading was a love of stories, fairy tales to begin with. Way before I learned to read I used to memorize stories read to me and tell them to other children, later.
When I learned to read I just read all the stories that my parents and my sister had read to me before. I was very pleased that I did not need to ask someone to read me a story at their convenience.
I do remember that the first grown-up books I read were mysteries. I probably was about 8 or so and I was given an Agatha Christie book. I was so impressed that for about a year all I wanted to read (and did read) were mysteries.
