In my early twenties I picked up a P.G. Wodehouse. I don't know which one. I knew absolutely nothing about this author or his style. I started reading it in bed in the morning of my day off of work. I was so entranced and in delight that I spent the entire day reading that book and laughing all day long. It remains to this day to be one of my favorite reading memories. That was many, many years ago, and while I haven't been able to re-create that delightful experience, it remains a treasured memory.

So glad you mentioned “The Picture of Dorian Gray.” The plot is just so singularly unique!

For me my path to the classics were Jane Eyre and The Count of Monte Cristo.....After that I Found it very tough to go back to reading more contemporary books.. Now my bucket list is to read all the classics..But the Book that totally changed my LIFE.. believe it or not was "The Education of a Wandering Man" by Louis L'amour. Yes, the western, cowboy writer. It is his journey on how he became a writer and life time reader and how he kept a list of All the books he read starting out in his life... after reading that I too started a reading journal back in 1989 keeping tract of every book I have read in each year and the cool part is, when I look back on that list I can recall where and why I read that book and what I was doing. Like when I went to Japan, and Turkey and read some books on there culture, food and proper manners...What a Joy it is to look back on these wonderful memories. *** Great list by the way... thank you for sharing***

I am about to indulge in a bit of self-glorification. I am self-taught to read at age 3. Deprived of meaningful reading till age 12, living in a rural village in SAfrica and being Afrikaans, l did not know anything about literature. Then we moved to a city. What joy! This city had an Andrew Carnegie. Library and l was introduced to English literature. I went overboard. I in fact read all 11 books and authors by age 20, reading at the rate of 5 books a week, in all génres, including American comics, which is not included in the count. I am now an 83yr old widower, living on my own, surrounded by books, no TV, Facebook, Twitter and the like, just reading and reading. +- 800 books, mainly mysteries and such in the last 4 years. When l orginally read these 11 books, and or authors l was not aware of their grandeur, yet l still remember them and their impact on my senses. Long live the printed word.

If I am not mistaken, your Top 10 included an 11th book, the one by P.G. Wodehouse. Nevertheless,I am glad you did, as I, a 78-year old retired Lawyer, preacher, professor, have never read his works. I grew up in a small villager in rural Southern Illinois in the USA. I recall the first and only book in our house: my mother bought a Bible when I was around 9 or 10 years old. Most parents of me and my class mates had less than a high school education. My father had an 8th grade education & my mother a 6th grade education. Nevertheless, I was fortunate. One gracious, well-read teach came into my life because her husband wanted to be a superintendent of schools before retiring. She was an English teacher who understood our area. We read Shakespeare, Dickens’ A Tale of two Cities (awakened me to great literature), Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain), and much more. Often we had to read it aloud to the class, so she would know we had read some great books. Until i took her in high school, I do not think I had read more than two books. One was about how to play every position if on an American baseball field; the other a book entitled “Stretch Makes a Basket. She changed me from a life of relative illiteracy when it came to literature to someone who still aspires to read and write. You gave me a few books I have not yet read. Thank you for you post to KZread! :). L. Keith Whitney, a retired professor changed by books.

By the time you are an adult, you will have met most of the characters in The House at Pooh Corner and Wind in the Willows. Alice in Wonderland is practically an out of body experience and Jungle Book will transport you to another time and place.
