Perhaps my most memorable reading moments was in middle school. Starting in the 7th grade with J.R.R. Tolkien, I read all sorts of fantasy books. While some never did appeal to me like
David Eddings or others whom I never read such as Marion Zimmer Bradley, I discovered a fascinating world. Unfortunately, along with my comic book collecting hobby, university life changed me. Oh, the life of a poor college student. And after college, moving to Japan and later Korea did not make book reading an easy hobby to maintain. Maybe some day, when I settle down, I can finally meet all those interesting characters waiting for me...
