The book you have read as a child might be very different now. Ebooks make editing even a published book a snap. If I let them read something like that, it came with a caveat of “see how you are being manipulated.”īooks are no longer static things. My children don’t need to be exposed to USSR-spawned propaganda, not matter what feelings I have attached to it. So of course, when I had my own children, I wanted them to read the same books.Įxcept that I realized as an adult that some of those books I used to love have problems.
Some of those books left a huge impression on me. My regular library haul, which I carried over two tramway stops to my home in a canvas bag, usually required me to stop a few times and rest, because dragging 8 hardbacks over long distances was a bit much for a 9 year old. Like most prolific readers, I started reading in childhood.
