I wouldn't have actually bought it but Stig of the Dump was the first book I remember reading by myself.

I probably didn't actually buy a book until I was in my 20s. Never without one now.

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

used to read anything by Asimov & the horror compendiums / short stories.
also devoured all the bond books once discovered.

sadly read very little comparatively now, mixture of laziness & time.

Kids,tired of being bothered by your pesky parents?
Then leave home, get a job & pay your own bills, while you still know everything.

One I remember being passed around was A Clockwork Orange which was a bit different to the Richard Allen Skinhead books I think everyone was expecting.

Great choice. He was a great writer. Tended to use complicated titles at that time though!
