YOUR childhood defining books...


Guest

Recommended Posts

I think I was a bit horse mad when I was younger (having never owned one but always dreamt that I would when I little)

SO my defining books were Black Beauty; the Flicka series (Mary O hara);

But I also loved Heidi, I remember saving my pocket money to go and buy them.

Then I shifted towards more sci fi stuff, and read everything and anything by Isaac Asimov, before coming across the Hitchhikers Guide on radio when I was a teenager.

Hi froglet, I haven't read an asimov for ages, but was tempted to when the "I robot" film came out, although the title is from Asimov's series of books, the story isn't , but the 3 laws of robotics is originally from a story called Runaround. . "Bicentennial man" is based on one of Asimov stories.

 

If sci fi interests you, Id probably say try out I robot first (but dont expect it to be like the film as it isnt!). If you like that then try out some of the other robotic series and then the first round of the foundation series.

 

Yes some of the books are heavy going, but some of them are also short stories eg the foundation trilogy..you could test the water with those maybe.

 

Hmm think I should have re read myself see if they still hold the same interest they did when I was younger...

Just come across Bunchy on a bookshelf. This was a book that my mum read to me from when she was little. The author also wrote Marigold at Godmother's house. Truly idyllic and totally unrealistic, but I loved it...still do.
