Message: <blockquote data-quote="Merkuri" data-source="post: 5405093" data-attributes="member: 41321">Like a few others here, I have liked scifi/fantasy since before I can remember.I do remember reading one children's novel about a boy who received a dragon's egg and had to raise it.  I do not recall the name of it, but it was part of a series of books that were all connected by the existence of this magical shop that would appear out of nowhere, give children random magical items, then disappear.After I finished that book, I remember telling my mother that I decided that I really liked dragons.  She told me that she knew I liked dragons ever since we read the Dragons of Blueland, which was a book for much younger kids.  I had read it (or, more probably, it had been read to me) so long ago that I didn't even remember it.  So you could say I liked fantasy before I realized that I liked fantasy.I worked for my college's information center, which included the library (though I worked in the technology section of it), and when we graduated they allowed us to pick some book that was not already in the college library and the school would go out and add it to the library for us.  It was our chance for us to leave something of ourselves behind when we left college.  I picked the Dragons of Blueland to honor the book that made me love dragons before I knew I loved dragons.</blockquote>
