what got you into reading?

So...I want to know what got you interested in reading books? What age did you start? What was your first favorite book? 

I can't exactly remember my first favorite book but I do know that my love of reading has always been there. I can remember my mother reading to me when I was young. She would read to me at night before bed even though she hates to read. Neither of my parents liked reading. But they didn't seem to mind buying me books. I was that quiet kid who was always excited to read and loved trips to the library and it felt like christmas whenever the day the scholastic book fair came. I also didn't mind having to read the classics like Shakespeare.  As a teen, I preferred hanging out in my room and reading rather then out partying and drinking. 

So? Tell me about yourselves. I would love to hear it.
