5th grade ManBearTiger devoured those bad boys. Still have the whole collection, never went back over them. Wonder if it holds up.

Also grew up reading a very nice illustrated collection of the Narnia Series and that played a big role in my reading and ideas aboyt literature.


I read the Hitchhiker's Guide series by Douglas Adams the summer before highschool and it was my first experience with "adult" level humorous novels and to this day I think that style is what resonates and sticks with with me the most as far as how I tend to write or phrase anything.

Most depressing thing Katrina took from me was my bookshelf. I've bought mostly new copies for when my son grows up, but I was always so excited for him to read the same books.
