It's always good to find a Sherlock fan aroundNicole_Boyd wrote: ↑19 May 2019, 23:19Yes! I love Sherlock Holmes. I have a book of his complete works of Sherlock Holmes and I read them all over one summer back in high school.Artizi wrote: ↑09 May 2019, 12:11 Arthur Connan Doyle, for sure. I remember reading (more like devouring) the whole series of Sherlock Holmes books. I did start with A study in Scarlett and then had my parents buy a big collection comprising all the rest of his stories and novels, which I could not put down until it was all finished
Which author started it all for you?

It doesn't sound cliche to me, as a young girl it really did encourage me to keep reading!SpiritPhoenix wrote: ↑21 May 2019, 09:57 J. K. Rowling. I'm sorry if this sounds like a very un-original/cliche answer but I was eleven and the first ever novel to land on my lap was about a boy wizard who turns eleven and has a giant break down the door to the cottage he was at that night, wishing him a happy birthday and telling him he is a wizard. I grew up with him and I was so overwhelmed to see what powers writers have!

Oh my God yes! I did feel a little lost when the series ended, because I've joined the reader community really late, until the end of the series I had merely read a few Enid Blytons and local comics. But I met a few friends who read and they recommended me brilliant stuff and that's how I realized there's so many things out there! But yes, it all started with Rowling! <3

War of the Worlds quickly became my favorite book (and was so for a long time), and Wells had opened up the world of SciFi literature to me. I began reading Heinlen, Orson Scott Card, and many other SciFi authors after that. I also really enjoy Well's other works, such as The Invisible Man.
Wells is the author that opened all of the other reading doors for me and I am thankful for his writing!

That said, I hadn't been reading all that much after graduating from school... until my "second re-awakening", at least. I don't know if you count web novels, but they sure set me on a reading frenzy that carries on to this day. I don't remember the first web novel I've ever read, but the first one I've read like a madman was definitely Er Mu's Release that Witch.
