What’s the first book you ever finished and still remember to this day?

As a child, I didn’t enjoy reading that much even though I was forced to through school assignments and encouragement from mom. Therefore, I have not read a lot of books throughout my life. I would rather write them if I’m being honest. Having said that, if I had to choose, I would say that I remember all of the Arthur books. I watched the tv show a lot as a kid and when one of those books were available in the library, I always felt like I had to have it as it was the only thing I would read. I was in the mindset at one point in my life that there was nothing else to be admired and I became obsessed with reading them. As I grew up though, I started caring less and less about them. I don’t think there’s been one book or series of books I’ve cared about since then.

At 36 years old at the time of this writing, I still couldn’t care less about books. I would rather watch tv. I find that it’s far more entertaining if I’m being honest. This is just my opinion though.
