Top Five Childhood Favourite Books
Mar. 1st, 2022 12:47 amI really loved science as a child, so I read quite a lot of nonfiction.
- I, Robot by Isaac Asimov: I really like when characters investigate different mysteries involving robots, although I dislike how he depicts Susan Calvin in the story with mind reading robot.
- Fabre's Book of Insects by Jean-Henri Fabre: I really love his keen observations and reflection about insects, although his belief in Lamarckism is dated.
- The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat by Oliver Sacks: the stories about patients living with their brain problems are inspiring and informative.
- The Complete Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: My opening to the world of detective fiction. Holmes and Watson are still very dear to me.
- Which Witch by Eva Ibbotson: it's a very charming children's novel with secret Identity and colorful characters
