The first time I read a book, I was eight years old and my parents had split up three weeks earlier and all though my mom stayed around I realizied I missed my dad more and more. Three weeks after they split my grandma sent me some books to read to occupie me after thier split do to their struggling marrage. I was glad that she sent them so I decided to read the first book I read was DR. Suess the foot book I really liked it I read the rest and asked my grandma for ever since that day I've been reading all the time.
