"For me I feel like I've been a reader, well, since I could read. There were certain kids books I would read over and over again, and I would usually read at least a few books a year just for fun, In addition to school books (I've never been a fast reader, so a handful of books a year is pretty good for me). Probably one of the first books I really loved and read multiple times (even into adulthood) was *Caddie Woodlawn*."
"I'm right there with you. If I were to be asked what's the first book I remember it'd likely be Goodnight Moon or Very Hungry Caterpillar, but as for a book that "started" it.....I just grew up in it. Every wall of almost every room of my childhood houses were covered in bookshelves, with mountains of boxes more in garage/attic. Weekly trips to library & used book stores..."
Many people form reading habits early, remembering childhood picture books and family home libraries. Some lose reading interest during school but rediscover it later, often after life changes such as becoming a parent. One person regained a passion for reading after encountering Little Fires Everywhere. Reddit contributors described weekly library trips, used-book-store hunts, and shelves filling multiple rooms as formative. Several users reported no memory of a time when they did not read. Others cited specific childhood books like Caddie Woodlawn, Goodnight Moon, and The Very Hungry Caterpillar as lasting influences that encouraged repeated reading into adulthood.
