1. Can you remember the first book you read?
I don't remember the first book I ever read (it's one of those Readers Books), I don't remember the first book I borrowed from the library (it's either the Narnia book or one of the Three Investigators Mysteries books), but I remember the first book I ever bought with my own money - Black Beauty by Anna Sewell.

2. What was the last book (electronic or otherwise) you read?
I'm currently reading A City of Ghosts and it's annoying me to no end.

3. Do you read for enjoyment, work or both?
Mostly for enjoyment, I read for work when I have to.

4. What is your favorite genre of book to read?
I always thought I liked fantasy, sci-fi or mystery/detective genre but a few times I read memoirs or non-fiction and I liked those too!

5. If you could visit your younger self, what book would you tell yourself to steer clear of?
hm.... There are books I don't like, but I don't think I should warn my past self to avoid any books - I should be allowed to learn and experience books that I enjoy and dislike as well - I should only form an opinion after I've read it. So no, I will not tell my past self to steer clear of any book, despite my hatred for Wuthering Heights, Catcher in the Rye, Lord of the flies, etc......

Oh I loved Black Beauty. I only read it in the last few years but I really liked it.

I've been meaning to re-read again since I bought a 1932 antique hardcover Black Beauty book in my last trip to London (bought it at Portobello, stupid, I should have haggled and I didn't) so yeah!! :D
