Notes

rstevens:

The first time I’d ever had this thought was when I wanted to see The Empire Strikes Back again for the first time in college. How about you? Ever wondered if you’d still love what you loved as a kid if you’d only encountered it for the first time as an adult?

What I MEANT to say, before my phone decided to seize and answer prematurely for me, was that I wonder if I’d still like half of the fantasy novels I read when I was a kid (e.g., Dragonlance). I went for practically any fantasy story I could get my hands on. I’m sure a lot of them were stinkers.

pfooti answered: I tried reading some books by Robert A. Heinlein again. I found them preachy, mysoginistic, and unrealistically libertarian.

tonybreed answered: I’m surprised at home much stuff I loved as a child that I don’t love as an adult, not even in a nostalgic way..
whiskyvangoghgo answered: Whenever someone asks me to suggest a book, I ask them to name something they wish they could read for the first time again.
allouryestertomorrows answered: new things I like often remind me of something I liked as a kid - hard to say if I’d still like them without that frame of reference.
