Amazing things to read.Filed Under: Article, General
When I was around 10 I developed a passion for reading. I read anything I could get my hands on. The Hardy Boy’s were close at hand since my brother had some. I read all of the Hardy Boy’s in print. I also found The Three Investigators and Nancy Drew. These books really helped me feel like I was the detective in these stories. Louis L’Amour and other westerns were some other books I read. My dad really like Louis L’Amour’s westerns.
I remember switching over to science fiction and fantasy. Some of these were loved and some hated. I remember reading several of Isaac Asimov’s books and the robots that came to life in them. Some books I can still remember the content of them.
I remember once while on a vacation traveling with my family, I bought a B.C. Cartoon book and when I got to the car and opened it there was a western inside instead of the B.C. Cartoon book that the cover showed. This book was about a man who found himself out on the plain’s and waking up in a daze with no wallet or any kind of identification. He starts walking and makes it to a town. To not give away to much he discovers little by little he was a gun fighter. It has a surprise ending that makes it worth reading.
While working on a job delievering piano’s I picked up a book at a drug store the Final Foundation. I picked up a book since I was riding in the middle and had nothing to do until we got to the next customer. The Foundation Series by Isaac Asimov has some very deep ideas and very futuristic. The book held me spell bound. I liked it so much I went out an purchased all of the other books in the series.
I also liked a book the Stainless Steel Rat. I heard about this book in High School but for some reason never looked it up. I have now started writing articles at Yahoo! Network Contributor
