Even as a very small child, I was very bright and I loved reading. Unfortunately, I never really reined in what I read so in a few days I would read the Dictionary, part of the Bible, some random sci-fi I found, and of course, the ever-present Goosebumps books. I was fine with the fairly tame ones- but the dummies, killer masks and such were too much for me. I created a posse of my favorite characters to protect my bed, and to this day, at the age of 11, I still need my little gang of helpful hobbits, gentlemen thieves, aliens and brave young soldiers and pirates to keep me from having bad dreams. Ah, youth.
