I think I became an avid reader in third grade. That was when I fell in love with Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little. By 7th grade I was reading Stephen King. 7th grade was also when I read Caravans by Michner(sp?) and I understood what I was reading. In 8th grade I discovered Steinbeck.
I will take a good suspense/thriller over a romance novel anyday.
I have kept a few of the novels I truly enjoy reading, but over the years I have weeded out most of my "keepers."
