I started reading habbit when I was studying from my Scholl days. At that time I use to read stories for children in Public library. I was regular in my attendence. During college days, my interest gone to literature. This habbit makes me to read all subject matter that gives me knowledge. This gives me plesure and happiness. I realise that Books are the best friends.

I believe you meant to say 'habit'. Well I started since I was a child, and I've enhanced my reading skills the moment I entered high school. I kept myself updated and always having the information through books whether they're storybooks, novels or graphic novels. But the thing that really boosted my reading fascination was when I joined Bookmooch.com. It's a site where I could get free books if I send some of mine to others. It's all about sharing your books and getting the ones you want for free. Anyway my current read for now is Message in A Bottle by Nicholas Sparks and so far I've enjoyed the story's plot and I'm looking forward to finishing it before the summer starts so I could begin with another interesting book to read.

I can still remember the very first time I read a book all by myself when I was very young. It was a Noddy book and I read it from start to finish in one go. I have loved reading ever since. I read more now than I have ever done in my life. I prefer books to TV or movies.

I could read fluently before I even started pre-school at age of 4. When all the other kids had nap-time, I would read (not just look at the pictures) a pile of Golden Books a couple of inches high! I still love reading now, a quarter of a century later! Non-fictions are my favourite because you always learn something.

I started when I discovered horse books. From there I went to science fiction and I've never looked back.

I too started reading when I was in school. It was mostly story books and then slowly I started reading all types of books. And books are my best companions and I cannot spend a day without reading a book.

When I was 15 year (I was in viii standard class), I was lucky enough to have a english teacher who used to take us to library where we had to sepdn 2 to 3 hours reading books. He used to suggest the titles we had to read and I picked up those books and we were allowed to borrow the books home for reading. The habbit has become a hobby and so much so, though I was not earning, every week I used to go to second hand book shop to buy my favourite author's books.

I have always loved books, even before I could really read. From the time I was a baby I would sit paging through books and learnt to read before I actually started school. Reading has always been a life-long love for me.

I started reading a long time ago when I was still at home and very young. My Mom taught me the love of reading. She read a lot and just about any book she could get her hands on. She taught me the respect of books. Never to mistreat them. She never allowed me to ear mark a book to keep the place where I left off. I had to have a book marker to put in the book when I would stop reading the book for a while. I was taught great respect for books and it has carried over to today. I absolutely love to read and do so everyday. I have alloted a certain amount of time for my reading. I may read at other times but I have a certain time of day that is when I sit down, open my book and go on the adventure of reading.

Yes Mother is the first teacher. My mother taught me to write alphabets in Tamil(my mother tongue) and English. Alloting a time daily for reading is a must. Thanks for response.
