I was three when I first began to read. Seems a common age among FS-ers. I was the only one in my primary school class who could read when I started at age four.

I don't remember my first book, but when I was four, just before I started school, I remember reading my first novels: Moby Dick, Lorna Doone and Treasure Island. I only liked Treasure Island. Friday's status as a kind of servant confused me but I liked when he was building things out of items washed up on the beach.

I hated Moby Dick so much. Killing whales. Nasty. Plus the language is terrible and boring. I tried to re-read it as an adult and my first impressions hold true, although I'm amazed at four that I even attempted it.

I have fond memories of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. I don't think I came across that one until I was about eight, when I went out somewhere that had a reading corner. I was a bit old for it and was sad I hadn't got to read it when I was younger.

I read Where The Wild Things Are when I was about six, which was perfect.
