Well with me I think it started many years ago when my father would read to me and my siblings stories. Some he made up - when we were very young and then he moved on. I distinctly remember that he read us all of Narnia; the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. From there I spent several years not really reading much, but eventuall picked up a book which sparked my interest anew - Orcs omnibis by Stan Nicholls and from there I reread LOTR and then further on...

Anther factor was that I started univeristy and could then allocate several hours free to really read a book - my home it seems that every time I open a book something happens to take me away.
