Following on from the favourite words thread where Des and I shared fond memories of Enid Blyton, what books and comics did you favour as a child? Share! And if there is an associated memory, feel free to include it.

I have very fond memories of Roald Dahl's books- his children's ones of course, but especially the Tales of the Unexpected collections. Once I had exhausted the kiddies library and was finally allowed to get at the grown-ups reading material, his were the first books I picked up. Absolutely loved that little chill you got with all his stories (still do, really).

I also remember vividly my Mum reading 101 Dalmations to me when I must have been about 6- I think I made her read it over and over...

I followed a fairly linear path...

Peter and Jane >> Enid Blyton >> Doctor Who (Target) >> Star Trek (Blish) >> and then into adult sf and fantasy.

At one point we were having comics delivered every day except Sunday, but my favourite was Doctor Who Weekly.

Ah, Roald Dahl -I fondly remember the leg of lamb murder and the wife who left her bullying hubbie in the lift! It was the first time I ever realised that the possibilty of sympathy (just a tiny bit) for a killing was possible.

Why blush for Star Trek? :lol: It was a marvellous programme!

1984 made a strong impression on me when I was about eight...
