Black Beauty (Anna Sewell) was the first; A Cricket in Times Square (George Selden) was the second; the rest in no particular order: The Time Quintet (Madeline L'Engle); The Hero and The Crown & The Blue Sword (Robin McKinley); The Hobbit (do I even have to list the author..?); Fahrenheit 451 (Ray Bradbury); The Giver & Gathering Blue (Lowis Lowry); Wanted: Mud Blossom (Betsy Byars); Bridge to Terabithia (Katherine Patterson); Firebird (Mercedes Lackey).
Why you want to know beats me, but hey, you asked for it.

Oh ha ha, if I can remember back that far, very funny lol. ummmmmmmmmm,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, (oh here it goes) First great book I ever read was 'The lion, the witch and the wardrobe' by C.S. Lewis, it got me right into the fantasy genre, then I remember loving 'A dinosaur called Minerva' by Tessa Krailing 'The outsiders' by S.E Hinton was read by the whole class in high school, and also a book called 'The pigman' by Paul Zindel also another book read in highschool that I loved. When I left highschool I discovered 'The Dragonlance chronicles' by many and varied authors through a boyfriend who had the complete works and fell in love with sci fi all over again and shortly after I discovered the works of Anne McCaffrey and have been enjoying a love affair with Pern and its dragon riders ever since. I then doscovered the author Sheri S. Tepper and her character Mavin Manyshaped and so at times I also live in the land of the true game. I read the odd other author now and again but no one will ever outshine the authors I revere. They gave me somewhere else to live when this world became too much to bear. I live not just on earth but on Pern and Ballybran and the land of the true game. It can be a great escape. Oh yeah, neurons just rubbed together and produced a spark, when my son was in year 7 he brought home Wizard of earthsea, he left it out, so I read it, it was a wonderful book also, by Ursula K. Le Guin.
