Liking the Classics

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?

Well, yesterday’s question was about listing three books that impacted us and why. Today, it’s about the books from our childhood.

A long time ago, a very long time, I can’t even remember now what books I’d read during my studies. However, if I remember well, the first book I read in my childhood was “Emil and the Detectives” by Erich Kästner, but I can’t say that it was one of my favorites. I didn’t have a favorite at this age. I just wanted to read as much as possible, so I didn’t read any book twice, characterizing it as my favorite.

Later in my teenage years, I tended to list some books as my favorites and read them more than once. One favorite from that time was “Caesar” by Alexandre Dumas.

Mmmm, I now realize I prefer classic writers, even from that young age.
