Childhood books

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood? – Another damn book question from the daily writing prompt.

No.

So I will tell you what I remember from my childhood. I remember playing outside. I remember my fathers funeral. I remember my first pet cat. I remember my mom working her butt off and crying. I remember skateboards and bikes and sleds. l remember feeling different. I remember work.

Another book?

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood? – Another book question from the daily writing prompt.

I remember a book my parents got me on Mickey Mantle. I also still have a book I used to pick up from my Dad (Single Lens Reflex Photography) from 1965. I used to look at that book and then that 35mm camera my parents had that I couldn’t touch yet.

The book that saved me a few times as a youth. The Chilton repair manual and tune-up guide for old Camaros.

A good book on a nice day on the patio of the Whole Foods building.
