Favorite Book From Childhood

[brewer]

Define childhood.

Under age 12: The Hobbit
Between 12 and 16: Steal This Book
After 16: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Of course, now it's the Bible.

I meant it as subjective.  Just whatever you or anybody else felt moved by.

I loved the original "The Hobbit" cartoon as a kid, but I never bothered with the book.  When I was in college, I had to read the while LOTR trilogy in like 10 days for a summer class.  My eyeballs felt like they were going to fall out.

I've heard Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas is very good.  Attempted to watch the movie, but fell asleep at the start.  Of course it was late, so no reflection on the movie.

The Hobbit was a mandatory read in 5th grade and that took me into the rest of JRRT. Silmarillion is one of my favs still. 

For the other two, you needed to come of age in the late 60's and 70's to appreciate.
