Childhood Preferences

Arts. I've always loved music, and though I guess I disliked the structure of art classes, I like visual art. And I do like and respect drama a lot.

I hated chemistry in school and no doubt would have hated physics if I had to take it. Too abstract. Biology I liked. Zoology I liked most. Animals. There right there, easy to visualize and know. Ecosystems are easy to visualize. Atoms, forces, chemical structures...not so much.

Now, I can appreciate them somewhat, but I can't say I like them or really care about the research that goes into them, except for it's practical purposes. I guess that makes me like 99% of the world then in that respect.

I am quite eclectic when it comes to wisdom i know stuff from many different topics, that is why I do it so well in 5 oit out of 6 Trvial Pursuit I can answer quite well on all the topics exept math, were i suck donky balls.

Personally, the sciences went right over my head - just couldn't get them (still can't, to be honest - my brain must work in a different manner), all except for mathematics, where I appear for some reason to have a natural aptitude.

No, my real loves at school were Art, Drama, English Literature - lessons I actually looked forward to

I was reading Edgar Rice Burroughs and H G Wells then, but not much else aside from DC & Marvel comics and an ancient set of The Children's Encyclopedia by Arthur Mee that I used to sit and read for hours on end. I first read Lord of the Rings then. It's not that early of an age for real books.

5th grade I was reading LotR, Call of the Wild... books that I can still read that are literary and worth while. but also Redwall and Hardy Boys and things that are not worth going back to at all.

Although I work in the technical field, my interest was always music and literature... as a child and now.

I didn't start reading 'real' books until high school, where I was first introduced to Animal Farm.
