50 Questions About Books & Reading
Dec. 18th, 2025 09:56 am 1. What's the first book you ever remember reading?
It's kind of a wild card -- I know it wasn't the first book I ever read, just the first I remember.

When I was 4, Rich was really enamored with Shakespeare and with theatre in general, but he couldn't read yet. So we'd sit cuddled up together on the steps of our house and I'd read Romeo and Juliet to him. That was his favorite play, so we read it over and over again. I didn't understand a ton of it, but the illustrations helped, and I remember a few years later Rich and I would deface that book by painstakingly copying the illustrations, in crayon, in the margins.
