The first book you "oooooh"'ed about?

[Germ Hamee]

Sphere, by Michael Crichton. It was the first book to really suck me in, anyway. I remember I didn't sleep an entire night thanks to that book.

[Araciel]

american gods.

[Sakura]

The first book I Ooohed about was Hop on Pop ^o^

[Mitch]

Stephen King's Bag of Bones. Either that or Soul Music by Terry Pratchett. Can't remember which I read first.

[Miriel]

I think the Wrinkle in Time books were the first to really hook me in and the first books I read over and over again.

The Giver was also a favorite of mine when I was young.

I had to read The Hobbit when I was in 6th grade and I absolutely fell in love with it. It was fantastic.

[I Took the Red Pill]

I remember liking Hatchet in like 5th grade, that might be it.

What was the first book you sat down and read, and generally couldn't put down until you finished? That you thought about the story and really felt it, like you'd become a part of it.

The first book for me was IT. Steven King has a way of making his stories feel extremely realistic even if it at times does seem like he's "dragging on". The way he describes just general landscapes/towns etc makes me drool.

So what's yours?

That was mine too, the characters were very real in the ending. I just finished reading it a few weeks ago actually.

That's saying alot since Steven is like > *

It has to be either IT, or Dolores (can't think of the full name), or The Stand

Dolores Umbridge, also one of Stephen King's best books.

Christiane F. – Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo

In my mother tongue of course! I was 12 when I read it and it's very touchy! It's about a 13 years old girl who becomes addicted to drugs and then a prostitute! ^^" There are several books I start to read and then don't drop but I don't read much! Just the ones that are really worth!

The HOBBIT. I first read it when I was like eight or nine, and I couldn't put it down. It was also the first time I snuck out of bed after bedtime, turned on the light and read all night

man I so rebel

Wow. Word for word, yes, that. The Hobbit.

[kikimm]

Probably like, Ella Enchanted or something. :strung:

[Deborah]

The first book I loved was probably "Go dog, go". I read so many books now I don't remember the first "adult" book I read and really enjoyed. Recently I read "Slapstick" by Kurt Vonnegut, first book I read in one day, Oh so great!

[Rostum]

The Myst series really hooked me in. They are extremely well written and interesting books.

[Shiny]

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. Made me want to go on fantasy expeditions in my closet while eating some Turkish Delight.

[JackNapier]

The Giver was also a favorite of mine when I was young.

QFT, wasn't there a loose sequel to it or something?

[Shoeberto]

The Gunslinger, for real.
