Alice in Wonderland is one of my return to books. <br /><br />And I too still have the first book I ever purchased with my own money. I was 11 years old, and I bought Stoker's Dracula from the BookMobile. They didn't want to sell it to me because the print was too small and they didn't think I would undertsand it. Well, I pitched a fit and bought it anyway. I think I paid about the same. I still have the tatty thing, but now I keep it in an airtight container.Cheryl Anne Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12564041914501542048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20796627.post-43952361610233922182010-09-23T04:03:54.696-05:002010-09-23T04:03:54.696-05:00I would make a similar choice to yours, One Day in...I would make a similar choice to yours, <i>One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich</i>, which was, of course, banned in Russia. It was the first book I bought after leaving school and I have read it roughly every ten years since then. As my experience of the world has grown so has my appreciation of the book. I still own that copy. It cost 35p new. That would be about 55ยข.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.com
