First book you got obsessed about?

[Chiburger]

Yes, the title pretty much speaks for itself but,

Being the Nerds we are, I believe we have all been obsessed with an amount of books, Harry potter, Twilight, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and the list could go on for AGES.

My question is obviously 'Which book was the first book you fell completely in love with?'

My first bookcrush was Stravaganza (the whole serie) by Mary Hoffman.
It's about normal people that travel through time and space at night when they go to sleep to... Kind'f an another dimensions Italy centuries ago, called Talia ^^)

I think I read it first at the age of.. 11, 12 maybe?

Now I wanna hear yours! Go ahead! ^^D

Probably Harry Potter... Before that I loved books, but Harry Potter was the first book that I reeeeally got obsessed with (it was also the first book I read in English, since I speak Spanish)

I think it would have probably have been .Hack//AI Buster I was pretty young at the time and was just being introduced to the internet and the world of games. So a whole open world game where you could live an entirely different life was really enticing for me and I've been obsessed about .Hack ever since.

The first book with which I ever completely fell in love was Piers Anthony.

Wait--I mean Xanth. No! I meant A Spell for Chameleon by Piers Anthony. 

Directly after reading A Spell for Chameleon, I read The Source of Magic. Then I read as much of the Xanth series as existed at the time. Then I read all of the Apprentice Adept series, and then the Incarnations of Immortality series. Then I found out that Piers Anthony had written a bunch of science fiction novels, and read those in the order of which I could find them at libraries. I was around the age of eleven, and it took me a few years to get through it all. In retrospect, I wish I hadn't devoured them quite so intently because now a part of myself believes that it grew up in a magical pun-derful land. I still re-read a few of the Xanth novels every year or so.

I had a deep problem and still do about obsessing about Harry Potter. It is too the points where i am writing a harry potter fanfic for nanowrimo

Harry Potter... when I was like 6. Actually, I don't think that was the very first book I was obsessed with. I became in love with a couple of series around the same time. I use to LOVE Nany Drew and this Treehouse book series. I forget exactly what it was called but it had a brother and a sister who went on magical adventures in their treehouse or something. And Junie B Jones, I loved that one for a little while. I also loved a Series of Unfortunate Events (and still do!) when I was a bit older, probably around 10.

MAGIC TREEHOUSE!!!! I LOVED those books! I swear, most of my random bits of history trivia come from that book series!

[Peyton The Magic Dragon]

Hmmmmm..... My first book obsession..... was probably the Young Wizards series by Diane Duane. I had liked Harry Potter (a lot) but the YW series seemed a lot better to me. Still does, in a lot of ways.

[Laura Elizabeth Campbell]

I liked the YW, but I felt it fell off after about 5 books...

[Cooper Boyce]

Obsessed? Well, I'd have to think on that one. I liked the Harry Potter series, but I'm not sure I was obsessed with it. I mean, I read them at age 5-8. I can't really remember. But I do know I was obsessed with the Percy Jackson series. Nowadays, I'm obsessed with the Hunger Games, the Inheritance cycle, and (still) Percy Jackson.

[Afton Hyppie]

The first books I became truly obsessed with, to the point where my mum sighs and rolls her eyes if she sees me reading them again, are probably the books in the Arrows of the Queen series by Mercedes Lackey.

[Danno]

i made the mistake of reading a couple of her later books...now i'm torn about backtracking.

[Jessica Cabrera]

I absolutely adore everything by Mercedes Lackey.

I started with the Last Herald-Mage trilogy, and then went on to discover a collaboration novel with Piers Anthony. After that, I just read everything of Lackey's I could find.
