Books you read as a child?
 
I am redecorating my bedroom and I found loads of books from when I was in primary school like Sabrina, Buffy, So Little Time and Two Of a Kind haha they're worthless but I feel like I can't just throw them out :(

What did you guys read as kids?

I have just had a flick through and my taste was so odd I clearly read the horror books way more than the cutesy Olsen twin ones

kirklancaster 09-05-2018 04:05 PM

I read; War and Peace by Tolstoy, Dead Souls by Gogol.... :laugh: Just kidding.

I read so many, but my favourites were; Treasure Island and The Master of Ballantrae by Robert Louise Stevenson, The Invisible Man, War of The Worlds and The History of Mr Polly - HG Wells, ANYTHING by Charles Dickens, and The Martian Chronicles and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

I also devoured War Comics and The Eagle, Hotspur, and the Dandy and Beano and lots of Sci-Fi and poetry anthologies.

And I STILL spent every available moment out playing. :laugh:

:laugh: Do you still read horror A.J.?

Oliver_W 10-05-2018 03:20 PM

MOONSHADOW

It's a really short book, about a boy who does shadow tricks, and his shadow grew sick of it and ran away while shaped like a cat. The book's about his chase of the shadow, and the pictures have the cat hidden in the landscape of all the various places he goes to.

Spoiler:

for a job interview in a school my task was to read a storybook to a small group of children - they all loved the book, and the assessing teacher asked where she could buy it!

James 10-05-2018 04:26 PM

Oh I read a few Wizard of Oz books. I remember the story in the first one goes on longer than the film.

They're making a film out of those books, where people in the cinema are going to be able to choose the plot with an app on their smartphones. :think:

Amy Jade 10-05-2018 04:57 PM

I love that idea! They should do more of that in horror movies imo

Marsh. 10-05-2018 05:25 PM

I can't think of anything worse.

I hate 3D, smells/4D, pick your own ending gimmicks.

Is it too much for a movie to just tell me a story. :rant:
