Oh well. I guess my first book was a programming manual for software we used at Great Western Sugar, but I don't count that. That was something I had to read and it was work related. I found it interesting, but you'd have to be a computer programmer to understand that. Even most of the programmers found it boring, but when they were looking for something I could quote them chapter and page so I thought it was fun. Gail My first book was the business conduct guidelines for the company I worked for. Boring!!! When I finally got around to reading a full-length book, it was The Phantom Tollbooth, a wonderful children's book about words and language.
