Friday Five Qs - On being a bookworm

1. What book or books were special to you in your childhood?

One of the first books I had (or at least remembered reading as a kid) was "Daniel and the Lions" and Beatrix Potter's "The Tale of Peter Rabbit". I must have read this book a hundred times. You want to know why? Kasi hologram ang illustrations niya! Amazing di ba?

Of course I also loved Dr. Seuss (Green Eggs and Ham and Cat in the Hat), Roald Dahl (James and the Giant Peach and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory), Hardy Boys, Bobsey Twins and Nancy Drew.

2. What was particularly special or memorable about those books?
The Tale of Peter Rabbit - kasi hologram nga yung pics
Dr Seuss - sarap i-read aloud kasi sing-song siya
Roald Dahl - sad yet funny stories
Nancy Drew, Bobsey Twins and Hardy Boys - 'cause i love detective stories (even if it is for kids)

3. Have you re-read any of them as an adult?
Yup! I still enjoy reading Dr Seuss and Roald Dahl.

4. If so, were the books as good as you remembered them?
Yup!

5. What do you think about movies being made out of children’s classics
(like the Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of The Rings, etc.)?
LOTR is okay, HP so-so. I really don't mind book-movie tie-ups as long as they remain faithful to the book.
