How did you get into fantasy?

Just like most of the replies to this thread, I have always been enthused by fantasy stories and settings. Although I am just now beginning to write shorts and a possible novel or three, I have been worldbuilding since I was a boy.

I started to like fantasy after my friend lent me a Dragonlance book called Legend of Huma. It was pretty standard fare, but it got me hooked. I read mostly Dragonlance and Forgotten realms when I was a teenager and then I started to expand out into other stuff later.

Dungeons and Dragons played a big part in my love of fantasy, but as of late I've been interested in weirder fiction.
