“Alice's Adventures in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll

As a child, I loved Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

These were my favorite books when I was a child

Still fresh after all these years. After battling my way through endless dull reading primers, I could finally read and chose this book from my parents’ bookshelves. It was like borrowing the car after passing my driving test. I was reading for its own sake and nothing more. I moved on after that—or sideways, perhaps—but never lost my affection for the book and its bizarre mix of high erudition and surreal humour. I still have that same book in my library today.

This is the book I most want to read again for the first time, if I could be seven again to do it.

Alice’s Adventures in wonderland was my favorite book as a child. I could almost feel the Tenniel illustrations stretching the synapses in my brain.
