I found E.R. Burroughs at 10 and adored the Tarzan series. Read ALL of them back then. I wonder if I would not like those books, should I reread them now.

I "discovered" ERB even earlier. My mother used to read from the Tarzan books every night. When I was old enough to begin learning to read, she and I would read together. Eventually, she had me read to her. I went through the Tarzan, Pellucider (sp?), and Mars series... I just bought "A Princess of Mars" and hope to begin reading it again soon. I hope that I won't be disappointed: But then, I wasn't the least bit disappointed when I re-read the Heinlein books a few years ago.

Your mother used the same method, to get you interested in reading, as I did with my now adult daughter. And it works!:-)

Oh, I've reread, as an adult,some books that I loved as a kid and still loved them. Others, I found a terrible disappointment. I wish you well with your new Burroughs book.
