I enjoyed reading the simple stories but I was more interested with all the drawings that was there and I copied them and sold them to my aunt for Php1/page (nag-pauto aunt ko sakin ) There was also this very old Fairytale book that belonged to my mom that we usually read at night. My sister and I will just peruse the pages and read each other stories. Then I outgrew it and I shifted to Sweet Dreams novels. Teen stuff. At high school i developed fondness with Danielle Steeles' books, Sidney Sheldon. and Robert Ludlum. I read the Bourne Identity when I was in sophomore high school followed by his other books (supremacy , matarese circle, etc..). With the Danielle Steeles novels, i was more attracted to the romance side of it and the way she describe the places she used in the novel. What i love to read the most was not really books, but the old issues of Reader's Digest from my father's subscription way back in the late '60s which he saved on one of our bookshelves (tons of it) and the newer ones he still was getting when I was a kid. I started reading them when I was five. Stammering and trying to make out the letters that were all written there. It just had a different effect in me because I was reading about real people's stories. The life-dramas, Real life heroes, even the "Laughter is the Best Medicine" section entertained me. It gave me some realistic perception with what's really going on in the world. It even helped me when I took the NCEE as I used their section "Word Power" as a review material for all those vocabulary I have to learn. It kinda stick with me. As an adult, I subscribe with the magazine and even buy those compiled stories books. This! Those hard-bound Disney books were my first foray into reading. Then came Reader's Digest (fave parts were: "Laughter The Best Medicine" and those small anecdotes found on the bottom of each page); After that was the National Geographic magazines; my fave edition/issue was about Koko, the highland gorilla/ape who knows American Sign Language.
