Welcome to Similar Worlds. I hope you stick around for a while.
My favourite book from childhood was Where the Wild Things Are.
3 days ago I watched the film version and the memories were wonderful.
3 books I loved are
[b]Gifts of Unknown Things by Lyall Watson.[/b]
Discover the extraordinary island of Nus Tarian, in Indonesia, where everyday reality contains terrifying, inexplicable, and miraculous phenomena. Magical feats, extrasensory perception, and psychic healing are commonplace in this land where the natural and the supernatural coexist and challenge our beliefs about reality.
At once a scientific exploration and an imaginative adventure, Dr. Watson's astonishing and life-transforming journey becomes our own, challenging many of our fixed beliefs about the "real world."
[b]House of the Dead - Fyodor Dostoevsky[/b]
A haunting and remarkable work filled with wonder and resignation, The House of the Dead ranks among the Russian novelist's greatest masterpieces. Of this powerful autobiographical novel, Tolstoy wrote, "I know no better book in all modern literature."
[b]Somerset Maugham - Of Human Bondage[/b]
From a tormented orphan with a clubfoot, Philip Carey grows into an impressionable young man with a voracious appetite for adventure and knowledge.
His cravings take him to Paris at age eighteen to try his hand at art, then back to London to study medicine.
But even so, nothing can sate his nagging hunger for experience. Then he falls obsessively in love, embarking on a disastrous relationship that will change his life forever.…

Similarly with me!
I still have a book given to me when Dad's work move to a new town some 100 miles away when I was six, meant a complete family move, and my leaving my original Infants' School for a new one.
The book is signed by my teacher, with the advice to "Keep on reading." So I did!

My father had high hopes for me. Bought me a encyclopedia set when I was three years old. Didn't really start reading until I got into the military though. Yet never stopped since.
There was absolutely no other entertainment in the field in the military. 😆

I used to be teased for reading so much at lunch and recess. The other kids thought I was nerdy it was something that I loved to do there was no other explanation.
