Had that no fiction attitude about reading in 1st grade. When ask to read out loud in class, read the first line, then started making up my own story instead of going to the next line. My stories were a lot more interesting and entertaining. The teacher never stopped me, but at the end of the year I was put in a summer reading program. They were very surprised to find I could read just fine, but only read what I was interested in. Also refused to watch Lassie because someone was always getting in trouble.

Only read one fiction book that I absolutely didn't like. It's was by Dean Koontz and I did NOT like it not because of the graphic violence, etc. it was that the bad guy got away at the end without ANY sort of punishment. And the "A word from the author" bit at the end that told why he let the bad guy off didn't help.
