Do picture books (with a minimum of printed text) count as well? If so, 
the first book I read myself was most probably "The Very Hungry 
Caterpillar" ("Die Kleine Raupe Nimmersatt").

Not sure what the first thing was that really deserved the term "book". 
Might have been some fairy tale, might have been "The Hobbit", might 

translated "Calling silver dove", a story about a north american jet 
fighter pilot crash-landing in the arctic). I guess I was more into 
comics in childhood times though (or, to be more precise, anything that 
had pictures with text combined; this included the photograph & 
illustration sections of the "Life Sciience Library" ("Life Wunder der 
Wissenschaft"), which actually happened to be my favorite pre-school 
literature; so I guess it's no surprise I grew up to be a bit nerdish :-)).
