This past week was hectic. With our robot project in Electronics lab in full swing, and midterms coming up in a lot of classes, I haven't had any free time. But, I'm getting caught back up now, and working on getting back on track.
Anyways, a particular post stuck out to me last week. It was actually the post that came out on Saturday. The free book listed on that post was the original Tarzan by Edgar Rice Burroughs. That book is actually particularly special to me because it's the first Burroughs book I ever read.
When I was about 10 or 11, my grandpa game me a case full of books written by Burroughs; it at least 20 or so inside. He had heard that I read Tarzan and liked it. My grandpa had saved all the books from when he was that age. I started reading them and was instantly hooked. Sure, Burroughs' books aren't perfect. In fact, they are quite dated, but he is just great at capturing your imagination and taking you to fantastic places. So, that book is pretty special for me, both for my childhood and my grandpa's. I've still got the case of books.
