Which book did you read first?

Since I joined the community I have found out that lots of people didn't read the three Thief books in order. To satisfy my curiosity, which book did you read first?

I read The Thief, checked out from my school library, back in 2003; perhaps a year later (? can't remember how soon after) I returned to the library and, having reread all of the stomachable books in the first half of the fiction section, went to the T's and was scanning for The Thief (thinking it'd be fun to reread that) when - OMG! - there it is, the Queen of Attolia. Of course I checked it out and fell in love with it. I had no idea that there was a sequel when I read Thief because someone had checked it out (I presume?) and, after reading QoA, had no idea there would be a third until just last year, when I went scouting through Barnes & Noble and SAW IT. On a shelf. Squealed ... and died. I DIIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH CASH WITH ME TO BUY IT AT THE TIME!!! I had to come back the next week! It was the worst week of my life ... knowing what I was missing and not HAVING it!

But I've read them all dozens of times now (bought a copy of the first two books when I bought the third), so it's all good. :)
