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. [;)]

Just up to "email in sick" to work, and reload on Zycam and tylenol. Back to bed for me.
Hope you get to feeling better.

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...[X(]
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[:D]
For what we are about to receive, may we be truly thankful.

Hi all,
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... [:D]

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

I did not start to really read separate history stuff until I was in junior high.
I did love history even in elementary school though.
