We were a Seuss family. As a child, I read almost all of his books, but the one I loved best was 'The Lorax.'

If you would ask my mom what books I liked growing up, I liked Dr. Seuss.
I grew up in a haunted house, reading Dr. Seuss.
When I was growing up, Dr. Seuss was really my favorite. There was something about the lyrical nature and the simplicity of his work that really hit me.
You know, I have a deep, deep affinity for Dr. Seuss.
'Oh, the Places You'll Go!,' by Dr. Seuss, is still one of my favorite books ever.
When I was a child, my father would read out loud to my brother, my mother, and me. Several times in the course of my childhood, he would read 'Alice and Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass' over a few weeks. They were a great favorite with all of us.
I didn't belong to the sort of family where the children's classics were laid on. I went to the public library and read everything I could get my hands on.
I grew up around books - my grandmother's house, where I lived as a small child, was full of books. My father was a history teacher, and he loved the Russian novels. There were always books around.
My favourite books series as a young child was the Frank L. Baum 'Wizard of Oz' series. They were beautifully written, oversized fat books with wonderful type and illustrations.
I can still remember. I was ill, and I was seven, and my father didn't want me to just read children's books. He came with Conan Doyle. I tried, and I liked it. I think the first I read was 'The Sign of the Four'; 'Study in Scarlet' was the next one. Then I guess I stayed home a few extra days from school to read.
