Friday Five 20030704

It's Friday.

1. What were your favorite childhood stories?
   

   "Chcolate War" "Guri & Gura"



2. What books from your childhood would you like to share with [your] children?
   

   Jules Verne's novels.
   
   I'd like to want them to know this world is not only what they see.



3. Have you re-read any of those childhood stories and been surprised by anything?
   

   2 months ago, I read "Voyage Au Centre De La Terre " wrtten by Jules Verne after an interval of nearly 15 years. I've remembered the main field of this story was Iceland, but I was greatly surprised at the severe description about its life. I didn't care about it at all when I read before. But now I have an interest in Iceland so I noticed. I guess it might be included a kind of malicious.



4. How old were you when you first learned to read?
   

   3 or 4? I don't remember well.



5. Do you remember the first 'grown-up' book you read? How old were you?
   

   In my junior high school days, I was so interested in music that I tried to read some musical theory books.
   As you imagine, I didn't understand at all.
