Show Notes

There are many books that are memorable to us as kids.  Whether we were avid readers, or the moment of being read to by a loving guardian or favorite teacher just evokes the peacefulness that comes with remembering that story.  For us, books cultivated our imagination, and as we grew older, sometimes we forget about it and having a creative and active imagination is a distant memory of our past youth.  But for the books that we remember, something about their story or message stayed with us well into adulthood.  And whether to that individual that story brought back great memories of our youth, or it was a staple way of living that helped us navigate the rough terrain of adulthood.

In this episode, we discussed our favorite books from childhood.  Together we agreed or disagreed, and reminisced about our favorite book, or series of books that we remember well into adulthood.  Some agreed upon books were the Harry Potter series, Holes, and other favorite past time stories and novels.  Overall, we appreciate the fun conversation that these stories have brought to us. 

Throughout the episode, we discussed the elements of these childhood books and stories that resonated with us, and probably, the general age group we are in.  Sometimes it was the story itself that we remembered, but other times it was remembering the moment that we heard or read the book.  This could be remembering a fond time we had with our parents when we would read together, or just remembering how a teacher would read it animatedly that inspired us to recall the story.  Bottom line, books served as a reminder that our memories are intertwined with a good story.

In the end, we ended with a good question about which is better, the book or the film remake of the book?  We had a good back and forth debate for and against each.  Overall, stories, whether in book or film form (or other mediums), will be around to inspire us for generations.
