Honestly I can’t remember. I’ve been reading books since 2nd grade and there’s been numerous I loved
Not even one above all? Or the last one you read 😀
“Nor Crystal Tears”: by Alan Dean Foster
One of the first novel length books I ever sat down to read when I was young.
The first series that I fell in love with was: “The Belgariad” by David Eddings
Say what you want about Eddings, the guy was not a nice guy, but “The Belgariad” was a great series and I leaped from it to LOTR.
Something by Robert Munsch
The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
Edit: by Douglas Adams (yeah, like that addition was needed)
I felt personally offended when my teenage son was like yeah it’s OK.
So that’s why you gave him up for adoption ;)
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
As crazy as what we’ve discovered with physics and consciousness in the last two years, I legitimately think there may be something to it.
Like, maybe the scientific pursuit of measuring the tiniest possible details has a butterfly effect that makes everything in a level we notice completely fucking insane.
Like how Google maps when you zoom in it replaces all the pixels. Maybe zooming in anywhere causes a snowball effect where everything everywhere suddenly needs to also be determined at that level, and that’s why shit at the “human level” isn’t running right.
There’s so much in those books that sound so stupid in the surface, but honestly aren’t as far fet he’d as they initially seem.
Gives me Philip K Dick vibes but with some of the best comedic writing ever instead of meth induced paranoia like Dick.
+1
Jurassic Park
The Book Thief
As a small child: The Very Hungry Caterpillar
As a teen: Lightning by Dean R. Koontz
As a high-schooler: Island by Aldous Huxley
The Hobbit.
First “real” book I read at like 10 or 11 and I just went straight the the whole series after.
I still remember turning the page to start Chapter 5.
Redwall, by Brian Jacques I think. Basically medieval fantasy drama but with woodland animals if I remember properly. I loved the whole series, great books when I was a kid.
Oh my god I saw the post and immediately thought Redwall! Glad to see you, new friend!
Schott’s Original Miscellany. I was a strange third grader, and I’m happy to report that I have grown stranger since.
Richard Scarry’s “What do people do all day” is such a fun book that even now I wish I had again just to flip through the pages and see the intricacies of the drawings
Inkheart was the book that got me to love reading.And the ironic part is, the audio book book is not available anymore (think its because each chapter starts with an experpt from another book, so rights issues come into play) so now Im searching everywhere for real life Inkheart similar to the characters looking for fictional Inkheart.
The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman
I was 11 when the book came out, so I was the perfect demographic for it. That book played such a pivotal role in my life at that age. I remember being excited for the next books and waiting for their releases.
I’m 41 now and I still will pick up any book by Pullman and read it. He is my very first favorite author.
I see many of my favorites, so I’ll throw down the first book I really remember loving as a kid because it is so touching:
The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein
Theres A Monster At the End of This Book
One of my earliest favorites too.
