Top Five Childhood Favourite Books

I 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
