She's always take time in the afternoon to read a chapter. I'm sure she read other books to us, but that's the one I remember because I liked it so much, I started reading the other books in the series, and sought out similar stories, like The Hobbit, James and the Giant Peach, etc. In second grade, we had to get special permission for some of those books, because they were in the section reserved for higher grades.By then, I was already a fan of sci-fi, having seen Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back, plus all those Star Trek re-runs on TV. I loved all the old monster movies, too. I remember spending entire Saturdays in my PJs in front of the TV when The Movie Channel would have "Monster Movie Marathons". Fantasy just seem like a natural fit with all that.It was about that same time a friend of mine, who spent mornings with us (his mother was a divorce nurse who worked the early shift, so she'd drop him off at our house around 5AM and he'd catch the bus with me), brought over this game in a red box. It was a new type of game a kid in his neighborhood showed him how to play. There was no board, and a bunch of funny dice. I made a Fighter and he started exploring this place called the "Cave of Chaos" (which we pronounced Cha-Ows) near this Keep on some Borderlands....</blockquote>
