Reading background

Hi everyone!
Just as I did with music, I'm going to give you a bit of my background when it comes to reading and books before I delve into my first review.
I started reading early, before kindergarten, with McGuffey's Eclectic Primers being the foundation.  Well, unless you count me parroting back to my mom and dad the Dr. Seuss they were trying to read me to get me to go to sleep.
I started in one school, but was moved to another because the "old" school kindergarten class was just learning the ABCs, and I was already reading.  I read for fun, mostly because there were no other kids around my neighborhood that were my age.
My interest in books really took off when I was in 5th grade.  The school had a deal with Scholastic Books where we could order books out of a catalog.  I saw one called "Mystery of the Coughing Dragon", in "The Three Investigators" series.  I was hooked, and read all I could from that point on.
 In 4th grade I was reading at an 8th grade level.  In 8th grade, I was reading at an 11th or 12th grade level.  In 11th grade, I was reading at college level.
I was first introduced to science-fiction/fantasy in junior high by a good friend of min, Mike.  He started me off with "On a Pale Horse" by Piers Anthony.  He also introduced me to the Dungeons and Dragons computer games (another post, folks, sorry).  From there, I got into the "Forgotten Realms" novels and the "Dragonlance" novels. 
My library is immense, and growing constantly.  I have two of those 5 shelf bookshelves, and each shelf is double, triple, and in a couple places quadruple stacked.  My collection is mostly sci-fi/fantasy, but I have some mystery, history, and action sprinkled about to make it interesting.  My main fixation right now are the "Warhammer 40,000" novels put out by the Black Library publishing company. 
My passion for reading has grown so much, that I take at least one book with me wherever I go, including work.  I just feel lost without one.
All that being said, I'll review mostly sci-fi/fantasy, but I'll post some from other genres as well to keep people guessing.
