RE: The Books I Read When I Was Young That I Would Still Read Now
Awesome post. I gotta check out The Rainbow Goblins- the artwork looks really cool! I read the Hardy Boys when I was younger and learned to read with Compton's Encyclopedia.
I met Shel Silverstein, by the way, in Haight Ashbury in '66. he drew me a picture of a TR-3 that was parked on the corner (wish I still had it) He didn't sign it though.
it's a phenomenal book. got a copy of it for both of my nieces, though my sister was real dubious about it. there's a follow up called "the white goblin" as well, which is pretty stark and depressing as well, but equally beautiful.
silverstein had quite the mind on him. lucky you got to meet him!
I was really impressed by the picture you put in your post... I'm going to see if I can find a copy.
