I was in a car accident when I was eight and as a result confined to the house/bed for a number of weeks. The only reading material available was her set of Harvard Classics. The first book I picked out I didn't comprehend well, but read anyway was Dante's Inferno. After that still within the Harvard Classics, I read and enjoyed; Grimm's Fairytales and a Thousand and One Nights, Two Years before the Mast, then it was Thomas Moore (at eight yrs of age I thought Thomas Moore was hilarious) from that I went to the three volumes of Elizabethan Classics, by then I was allowed to go to the local library where I checked out, the more appropriate Box Car twins.
After that I washooked on reading.
