August 16, 200818 yr First Book has launched a campaign to get children in need hooked on reading. Visit http://www.firstbook.org/whatbook to vote for the state to receive 50,000 new books for the children who need them most. Click on the link and select Kentucky as "Where you want the books to go." If Kentucky wins, we receive 50,000 books, which is good for all of our students!!!
August 16, 200818 yr I voted . The books that got me interested in reading when I was a pre-teen were the Hardy Boys series . By the time I was in the eighth grade I was reading Alexander Solzhenitsyn , Ernest Hemingway , Sinclair Lewis among others .

August 17, 200818 yr The very first book I ever read was Little House in the Big Woods....I was 7 years old. My dad had written in my book that if I kept reading, there would be nothing that I could not accomplish! He was correct. I was the only one of 174...yes, 174 first cousins that graduated from high school...I not only did that but, I went on to get my Master's....I will vote agaiin for this. Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew were my favorites. I had every book there was! I read them over and over. I finished my first book when I was 11 and was hooked!!!
