I found them strangely, morbidly seductive but also knew that if tested in any of those ways I would never make it to sainthood. And I believe that to this day. <BR/>AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054198.post-1163464383816926122006-11-13T19:33:00.000-05:002006-11-13T19:33:00.000-05:00George, it's a pity childhood bullies ruined Curio...George, it's a pity childhood bullies ruined <I>Curious George</I> for you. For myself, I recall rather liking the book.

I'd moved on to adult books by eighth grade (I think: I'm older than you are, George)--I do remember the joy of being "legit" upstairs in the Big People's Library, not just downstairs in the children's section. [I left the Boy Scouts at an early age because the troop was a bit too much into rifle practice for my taste...]<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://walt.lishost.org/?p=414" REL="nofollow">I chose a book</A> that didn't even exist until I was, mumble mumble, 29 years old, because it speaks to me now. I really don't remember the specific children's books that spoke to me back then (well, there was the Oz series). My love of SF, which continues, started before high school--I do know that much.<BR/><BR/>If you like Charles Addams, you should also (I believe) like Edward Gorey, one of my all-time fave raves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
