For me, it was a total throaway elective I took senior year in high school: Best Sellers with Mr. Coates. I had been a “reader” in my childhood, but that had sort of fallen off in middle/high school as most of my reading energies were taken up by things I “had” to read. Best Sellers reminded my what it felt like to read for fun, and got me comfortable for probably the first time with choosing books on my own out in the wide wide world of “adult” books. I read Curious if anyone else has a clear delineation they can point to as “this got me (back) into reading.”
