From the ones I remember by title (and I’m getting a lot of those wrong so far,) I think the only surprise is that I read most of mine at the ‘wrong’ stage of life. The thing I remember best about the one I didn’t finish reading was ‘good grief! that doesn’t make any SENSE!’ None of the human beings thought that the spider was super-intelligent for weaving a web with words in it. They just noticed what she wove. I didn’t finish reading the book because it seemed too real. This was how people seemed every day. I was five, I think; the inner workings of the minds of most people (or lack thereof) is frequently just as disorienting to me today, nearly four decades later.
