How many a man has dated a new era in his life from the reading of a book. – Henry David Thoreau (1817 – 1862), Walden: Reading, 1854
If you’re a reader, what else is there to talk about this week besides Harry Potter? I was reading about a twenty year old young woman and how she’d begun reading HP with the first one and followed them through to the end. Now, I’ve enjoyed them, but how cool would it be to have grown up on them? They will always have a special place in your heart, won’t they (assuming you like them) if they were part of your childhood and/or coming of age. The books will remind you of times in your life when certain things were happening.
I can’t think of a series that was being written while I was growing up, but I do remember certain books. I even remember some of their titles. I love series though. There’s something so fun about being able to read more about the characters you’ve grown to love. My favorite is, of course, BETSY-TACY. I also loved (as a kid, and now as an adult) The Melendy Quartet by Enright, The Children of Green Knowe, and Trixie Belden. What series kept you reading?
