Trying to find Childhood memories
Posted on October, 14 2008 at 05 PM
Note: If you have ever wanted a glimpse into the off-kilter and corrugated psyche that leads to all of the illustrations you see here, never has there been more of an opportunity. I hope you enjoy.
Recently I have been doing a lot of reading, which has included the fair share of books on technology (i.e. Ruby, AJAX, CSS, etc.), classic literature (Don Quixote, Tale of Two Cities, Oliver Twist) and even some of my childhood favorites (Maniac Magee, A Wrinkle in Time, etc.).
Of all of these, the ones I have enjoyed the most are most definitely the latter, which bring back so many memories and emotions of when I first turned their pages. The only real problem of going back and reading these, I am finding, is that with their literary reminiscings, I have begun to feel a longing for other books from my childhood. Books, quite frankly, that I can no longer remember any distinguishing details of. All I have are faint recollections of themes and minute details.
If you are asking, yes, I have tried using the glorious macrocosm that is the Google search database to help me, but it can only do so much to piece together the unravelling threads that currently occupy my head (though, I was able to recently find one childhood book, but I want more!).
This is where you and your brain come in. No, no … I have no need to harvest your smarty cerebral flesh like a zombie; I simply want to toss some inklings and ideas at YOUR memories and see if anything emerges. If I am really really lucky, you might just remember the book/short story I am searching for. Exciting, I know!
Ok … ready?
