Series of Unfortunate Events

When I think back to when I was younger, a lot of things comes to mind. When I think of books I read back then, only one specific book really takes me back. The Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. They were the first books that I had read that was a part of an entire series.  I started reading it because my older brother was, and being 10 made me think everything he did was so cool. So, I just had to read the book he was reading. I turned out to love it, and ended up reading the rest of the series. I think back to times when I would be reading and get frusturated with not knowing how to pronounce certain words. I would often give up and ask my mom to read it to me. That's what I remember the most. Sitting with my mom, on a chair, in the living room of my old house. She would keep reading to me until I allowed her to stop, which to be honest, did not happen much. When I finished the series, I was proud of myself that I finished the entire thing, especially because my older brother Casey did not. I think, without that reading that series, I might not enjoy reading now a days as much as I really do.
