One of Enid Blyton's Noddy books ~ the only lasting impression I have of it is the feeling of satisfaction in reading the last page (it wasn't a picture book as such). The first book I ever read that I still remember the content of - and that had a great impact on me at the time - was Anne Holm's "I Am David". The first book I ever read end to end without stopping was Geoffrey Household's "Rogue Male".

I think the first 50 or so books I read were Enid Blyton. I think The Boy Next Door was the first. Still have all my childhood books which my children, and hopefully in the future my grandchildren will read.

Explains why you are the way you are. Were you ever just a child?

Time to tone down the obsession with me, kid. The forum
is big and there's no need to stalk.

And, surely, there are other things to do in the Queen's prison island,
like comic conventions and anime clubs.

The first "long" book I ever read, one with chapters as opposed to reading short stories in a book, was Enid Blyton's "The Secret Island". I was six.

The first "grown-up" book I ever read completely by myself was "The Swiss Family Robinson" by Johann David Wyss. The next was "Black Beauty" by Anna Sewell.
