As a child I had no interest in reading, probably due to the utter crap on the school reading lists etc.

On a very rainy family holiday in Wales I found this on a bookshelf

http://www.wilbursmithbooks.com/books/standalone/e...

Eagle in the Sky by Wilbur Smith.

I was probably about 14.

After several abortive attempts to read it something finally clicked, the film screen in my head sprang into life and I read it in one sitting.

Since then I've probably read a book a week (apart from periods where I can't seem to find a book I like ).

Which one started you off?
