Blame the Hardy Boys. When I was a kid, I read every single book in the series. And I read them in order. Maybe that was the start of my obsessive reading disorder. Whatever the reason and whoever the author, I start at the beginning, reading the first book they have written. My tastes are pretty straight-forward. Fiction.
