Hey there, /lit/. Do you remember any books which inspired you as a child? I'm very interested to see what you were all reading when you were all young'ins, doubly so if those books gave you an interest in science and space. |

index.jpg Never really into science and that, first proper book I read as a kid, after catching a little bit of the TV series and liking the cover. |

1.png Sometimes I used to have nightmares. I never told anyone because I thought my mum would stop me from reading the series. Such a shame I outgrew the horror genre. |

worldsunknown_blackdestroyer_big.jpg When I think of science fiction books I read as a child, I think of The Warlord of the Air, The Time Machine, HHGTTG, The Silkie, Slan and The Voyage of the Space Beagle. I read most of the other books their authors wrote too, but those stood out in particular. |

magic-schoolbus.jpg One of the books in this series, despite being American, helped to further my interest in medicine and the human body that eventually lead to my study in later life. |

105770568.jpg This has to be one of the biggest influences on me for most of my early life. It was one of the few truly interesting books in my year 3 portacabin classroom's meagre selection. I was always best at science and it was my favourite subject all the way through school, probably going back to this book. |

fear-loathing-2[1].jpg >When I was about 15 I found a book about Salvador Dali in my high school's library, though, and I think it affected me rather fundamentally. I think the parents are still disappointed in my change of direction. |

rainbow_six_tom_clancy.jpg I think when I was 13 or so and read Rainbow Six, I started working out a bit which lasted a couple of years, that was cool. 8 years later, and so probably for the rest of my life, whenever I get to a pain barrier or injure myself during a task, I think of Eddie Price doing some SAS stuff with a broken rib, and I power on through. |

When I was about five I spent all my time looking at atlases. Even today I still know the capitals and flags and shapes and neighbours and rough populations and relative GDPs of a million countries. |

The Great Big Book of Space is my earliest book memory. I remember looking at a picture of the Horse Head nebula in it. I remember feeling literally dizzy. And then I read that what I was looking at was a photograph. |
