1. What were your favorite childhood stories?

I had many. Once I learned how to read, I couldn't get enough books. I loved all the Little House books, the Box Car children, Charlotte's Web, the Beatrix Potter books, Richard Scarry's Very Busy books, and so many others I can't recall them all. But I do remember in first grade the BP books and the RS books were so popular we actually had a waiting list of little kids.

I couldnt' wait to share the Richard Scarry books with Warren, he loved them as much as I did, he also loved the show when it used to air on Nick Jr. I have also read Charlotte's Web to him when he was about 5 or 6, and in school he liked the Box Car children. He never cared for any of the Peter Rabit stories though. As he gets older his taste's have changed and he isn't as interested in most stories (Harry Potter aside - Bless you JK!!), as he is in Non-ficition, which is good too..

Looking back I appreciate the illustrations even more, but I think I am most suprised by the Box Car children. As a kid the idea of a bunch of kids living in a box car with little or no adult supervision seems like a great fantasy, but as an adult, I think WtF??

I could site read a few words by the time that I was four or so, however I didn't really Learn to read until I was 6. I had a few problems at first, but around 7, I jumped past what ever the issue was and started becomming a real book-worm. I have been a bibliophile ever since

If by "grownup" you mean a book with out illustrations, I would say it was probably the Star Wars novelization. It had photo's in the middle but not illustrations like a kids book. I was in third grade at the time, and read it all in one night, which left me rather tired in school the next day. Otherwise the first real "adult" book I remember was when I was about 14. I can't remember the name of it, but it was the first time I read a book with R/NC-17 sex scenes in it. I can't believe it was actually in my high school library. For a girl who's mother was a "good girls don't talk about that sort of thing" it was certainly and eye-opener to say the least.

Mini-Bio

In every neighborhood there is at least one house that all the neighbors gossip about. This is a diary from the woman who lives in that house. I am a single mother in her mid thirties. I live in North Dakota with my son, Warren.

I tend to be a bit of a slob, and am the opposite of a girly-girl. I am geek girl, who loves Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, Buffy, Angel, action movies, science fiction, action adventure, Dr. Who, and so on and so on.

I love to write and while I don't post much fiction online anymore I would love to be a writer someday. I am also overweight, bipolar and suffer from allergy induced asthma.
