I've loved reading story books ,but I couldn't read those without pictures ,to me they looked boring. But then during the summer vacation after grade 4,I was bored to death I just had to read one of the numerous pictureless books in the house.THIS WAS MY TURNING POINT. The 1st novel I laid my hands on was a hardcover book its cover illustration was a picture of 2 men playing basketball, one was white, the other was black. And the tiltle of
the novel was THE MOVE MAKES THE MAN. Why I chose to read this book most have been because it had a picture of people playing basketball,and I kinda like basketball. It took me 3 days to read,I was thrilled by what I read,it was as if I was watching a movie,and ever since then I read everything readable that comes my way.
I thank God that I didn't read the next to books I read 1st,if I had I won't have loved reading books without pictures yet. They were quite hard to read and understand for my age and vocabulary.The name of the 2nd book I read is OUR TOWN this book was in 3 acts,and then I didn't know what that meant and I was simply confused but I continued reading. The 3rd book was a hardcover book like all the other and it was titled farenheit 451,this book was a bit complicated for my 10 year old brain I didn't understand what was happening to books and I guess all I remember is that the book was about books. But that I had no problem reading books anymore and when I resumed school the next session I came 2nd in the class,that 1st term grade 5 2002/2003.THIS IS THE POWER OF BOOKS. All thanks to God who made real. So when I read Think Big by Ben Carson in 2004/2005 I felt we had a great deal in common.

It is nice to see the 1st books you people read,it must have been fun
