Preferred Reading Format: I used to be all PHYSICAL BOOKS ONLY but about a year ago I got an eReader and now I'm a huge fan of that too, so there are SOME books that I still buy so I can put them on my bookshelf after, and then the rest I buy as eBooks. Personally, I can't do audiobooks because I'd just get distracted and (this is a quote from my best friend) I "think too loudly" so yeah. Maybe that'll change at some point too, though, we'll see. What was the first book you remember reading? Uhm...Der Regenbogenfisch by Marcus Pfister maybe?

Name: J. Neira, but you can just call me J. Age: 24 Location: Minnesota, sometimes Mexico.
Find me on Goodreads: I don't have an account, but am open to starting one if I'll be able to find most of you there.
Preferred Reading Format: Physical book. It's best for the eyes and I just like the feel of opening a book and reading. What was the first book you remember reading? Ooh, what a good question. I have vague memories of reading Little Golden Books with my parents when I was very little and learning how to read. The first non-picture book that I remember reading (on my own) came from the library and had a big-headed orange skinned alien on the cover. I don't remember its name, but I remember the plot was about an alien teacher that came to a middle school and introduced the children to a video game where they killed bugs - but it started an addiction problem and I think the kids started transforming into bugs. Not sure how it ended but I would appreciate if anyone knows what book this is to send me a VM. Around this time, I also started reading Bigfoot Doesn't Square Dance and books like that.
