The bookworm in me surfaced late last nite...

Was talking to bro on the books we read when we were younger and all of a sudden, I just felt like digging em all up again to read/flip thru (pardon, those books were like for pri sch kiddos).

I love reading and love losing myself in bookstores of yesteryear such as EPB bookshop and Times. Here some books that were a staple while I was growing up.

Enid Blyton

She was the JK Rowling of yesteryears man...

I read so many/amassed of her titles that if you were to stack the books up it will probably reach ceiling high.

My personal faves include those hard cover books with short stories in em (can still find at Popular Bookstore), Mr Meddles Muddle (about a very kaypoh, long nosed and klutzy man), Malory Towers (girls' high school story series), The enchanted forest, duno wat magical-can-fly chair, Famous Five (adventure stories about 5 children and their dog) blah blah...

Bookworm Short Stories were also darn hot. Each book was priced like 5 dollars (soft paper cover) AND I go crazy when there's the bookworm club peeps coming to school and selling em. Gosh! I was even a member of Bookworm Club and wrote avid fan letters to them! Haha... My fave character was Louie in the series. I tot he was pretty cute :p

But my most faved author was R.L. Stine. I adore the twisted style of writing with surprises/shocks at every chapter and book. It influenced the way I write. Fear Street and Goosebumps series of books dominated much of my sec sch reading days.

I also love buying tons of those lil books at Times Bookshop (retailed at around 2 dollars max per book years ago). Those books were like 1 pg pic and 1 pg words, makes reading a breeze man~

Now I am infatuated with Stephen King's series of short novels compilation. Just bought Night Shift recently from Borders coz the exact same one I bought years ago was in tatters and I love Night Shift the most from the short novels.

How about you?
