I noticed a young man on my train this morning reading a very large book. When I snuck a look at the cover, it turned out to be the "Twilight" novel, "New Moon". What a 20-ish man was doing reading a book for 13-year old girls is unknown...

I read my first book about WW2 - "Jagdgeschwader 27" when I was 9 years old. Both is a little strange

"Enemy at the Gates" was one of my earlier books. Have no clue how old I was. I try to forget childhood.

Yup, I was 7. We had a den with the walls covered with books and I saw that one. The picture on the cover got me. I had a sister who was 21 at the time and I would sit on her lap and read it. She helped a lot.

My 16 yr old daughter wants me to read the thing. Can't bring myself to do it.


My daughter has not asked me to read it. Thank heaven

The first war book I read was, I think, HMS Ulysses by Alistair McLain...

I must have been around 8 or 9... local library... by the age of 20 I read every single one historic and SF book that was translated to my language from my town libraries...

My first book had a lot of "See Dick run. Run Dick run." in it. I don't remember the title though
