I love reading, I’m proud to be a bookworm.  However I didn’t start reading for personal enjoyment until I was 14.  I remember my father bringing home a book that someone loaned him from work, it was Stephen King’s “Four Past midnight”.  The thing that struck me was the size of it…so thick…at 14 I thought that was the biggest book I had ever seen. (I now know he could write bigger!)  I started reading that book and was instantly hooked.  Stuff playing with my friends, I had found enjoyment in reading.  I could go on exciting adventures and never have to leave my house.   To this day I don’t think my father has ever read that book but it has changed my life.  I own every Stephen King book and my library contains many other authors including James Herbert, Clive barker, Tom Sharpe, Peter Straub, Peter Benchley and many many more.  So I’d like to say “thank you Stephen King for introducing me to the world of fiction.”  They (who ever they are) say you never forget your first love, well I say you never forget your first novel.
