You are right about the lifetime of pleasure. There is nothing like being lost in another world when you're reading. I clapped my hands when I saw you had the same comics! I started with Twinkle too. Do you remember Little Maid Marian? I am sure it was a bit grim...<br /><br />Paula - ah, the Adventure series! So good - sometimes dig out my old Blytons for a bit of nostalgic comfort. It always works a treat. Re the flows - chemo did halt everything for a while, but now back with a vengeance.fenngirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10489287305498335499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234053532391953224.post-8565338019383263392010-06-15T23:19:25.629+01:002010-06-15T23:19:25.629+01:00Oh I loved Enid ... though my primary school teach...Oh I loved Enid ... though my primary school teachers didn't.

And I got the same comics - started with Twinkle, and eventually ended up with Jackie.<br /><br />I'm a voracious reader too and I'm so glad my son is too. There's a lifetime of pleasure for him. He's speedy too - raced through Harry Potter and then all the Percy Jackson books. He's 10. The little one always wants a bedtime story too. It's one of the best parts of the day.

Hopefully AndyD is going to create me some jazzy new version of this cobbled together blog and I shall be all glittery and special.

I remember mine reading the back of public toilet doors (in their little squeaky voices), and coming out of the cublicle absolutely mortified in the knowledge that the whole loo now knew that 'Bernadette is a slag'.
