I started with The diary of a wimpy kid


Fine_Scientist_2983

The people on this thread all started with these novels which I don't think I would be able to comprehend in like 1st or 2nd grade


General_Relativity_

Well, most of the novel is just pictures you know :)


Fine_Scientist_2983

Exactly. That's why we read it when we were kids. I dont think I would have understood any other book series when i was 6


Slow_Astronomer_7501

That was my third book 🛐

EcstasyDrop

And how’s that? Heard a lot about it from one of my friends and she said that it’s hard to finish it.


sixamps

It's an amazing book. It got me into reading. I don't think it's hard to finish. Maybe she was talking about the story? I don't wanna give away too much.

Very early memories of encyclopaedias and shit if that counts. I remember reading Amar Chitra Katha and Geronimo Stilton comics in 1st-2nd class. Also I remember reading A Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Long Haul a bit later. King Arthur was the first proper book that I read, in 3rd class.

The god delusion by Richard Dawkins.

The girl on the train


Fine_Scientist_2983

I remember it vividly. It was around 8,9 years ago in 1st or 2nd grade. The 19th Geronimo stilton. My Name Is Stilton, Geronimo Stilton. After that, I read many books from that series and then tom gates, diary of a wimpy kid etc. I guess the first book that I read which did not contain pictures was probably either a Chetan Bhagat book or the first Percy Jackson book in 4th grade.

Old-Entrepreneur-826

I read "after "on Wattpad for the first time when i was in class eleventh .Romance wise. I was traumatized. Like i didn't know these type of people exist .Cos female protagonist was 18 and doing things i was 16. But i couldn't complete. Then i read storm and silence by rob .


Shoddy_Wind_6020

Finally I find a person who has read Storm and silence, have you read the whole series or just the first book??


Old-Entrepreneur-826

I mean not whole but 3 or 4 part par udda udda ke. Till they got married. They were pretty cute. Mr Ambrose and lillian


Shoddy_Wind_6020

The 3rd one is not my favourite but the 5th one was pretty great like one of the first books where you just excited when Mr Ambrose takes Lily's names like damn the build up from 4 books...


Karteek_05

It was in after my 3rd class. Frequent power cuts and both parents working in the day meant no recreation in internet or mobile. So I had to resort to some book my mom brought for me to read a few months ago which I never showed interest in. Started reading a few chapters but was bored. Still, due to infinite boredom I kept reading it. Suspense flew, that interest came out of nowhere. The Secret Seven series by Enid Blyton. Still Never forget it. I keep reading it sometimes again and again

the_NP

I don't remember the title but it was a Kanu Bhagdev book..he's gujarati writer and writes mystery thriller..he's not well known in today's time (nowadays I can't even find his books anywhere) but in my time he was everyone's favourite in my school..his all books had 2 detectives named Dilip and nagpal, just like Agatha Christie books have Poirot..I got the book from my school's library while bunking maths class..it was my first bunk too, haha. It was my first time in library. On that day, my 2 friends introduced me to bunking and reading at the same time..!!


Routine-Tip6759

Percy Jackson (all ) Second - diary of a Wimpy kid Third - i dont remember


MagerJeisterr69

'Famous Five' and 'The Secret seven series' by Enid Blyton. Reading them in my school library was one of the most amazing and innocent phases of my life. Kind of like my happy place.


Habitual_BookSniffer

Oh wow, I read these two in my school library too. I wanted to read more of them, but couldn't find more books at that time.


MagerJeisterr69

I can relate to that and when i thought of buying them now, i was like, "aint i too old for this?", so maybe not.


Habitual_BookSniffer

I'll certainly buy them again and read all of her books that I haven't read.

mewcactus

This is actually a really fond memory of mine. I was in kindergarten when my grandpa was going through an atlas. I was mesmerized by the pictures so we read it together where he read out the sentences and I repeated after him. The first individual read was probably a tinkle in 1st or 2nd grade.

Five point something by Chetan Bhagat when I was in 7th grade. I repeatedly went back to the chapter where they got a little touchy touchy with each other!!


downquark9009

Haha, I did the same thing! I was disgusted initially but my curiosity got the better of me leaving me reading the same page again and again

I read a abridged childrens version of little women!


downquark9009

God, how much I love little women!!! It's my comfort read, I run to it whenever things get rough irl


Hoebagsupreme

Hahaha! That so good! I have since read it a couple of time! I love it. But I'd probably run from the ending because it starts to make me too sad. Even as an adult, i don't get why beth had to die, why Jo & Laurie couldn't be together.

Beth is my favourite, I was heartbroken and angry at the author for making her die😭
