Going back to the start

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

So, I missed the H2G2 reference. Minus 5 Geek Points to me. I was only about 14 when I read it, so I’ll go with the “half a lifetime ago” excuse.

However, this has crystallised an idea that’s been floating around in my head for the last couple of weeks: I should go back and re-read some of the books I read when I was a teenager that sparked my interest in sci-fi and fantasy. Louise has recently read Neuromancer, which is where the idea started; pt’s rebuke settles the matter.

Some of the “classics” I’ve re-read fairly recently. Foundation, Magician and The Lord of the Rings spring to mind. This leaves the likes of Neuromancer, Lensman, Ringworld, The Hitchhicker’s Guide to the Galaxy and The Colour of Magic.

Your turn: What are you going to re-read?
