The first book I read all on my own as a kid was Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss. This was the first book I read all the way through with no help from a grownup. Since then I have read hundreds of other books. Longer, more detailed, more complex books from How to Eat Fried Worms to Harry Potter to The Lord of The Rings. The books I read in later life had more issues and story behind them that were much better and more entertaining than Green Eggs and Ham. I read fantasy and drama, Shakespeare and Arthur Conan Doyle, science fiction and non-fiction. All of these books could be considered better than Green Eggs and Ham. But Green Eggs and Ham was my first, the book I read all on my own, and it will always be one of my favorite books.
