Reading Old School

Yes, I do seem to remember old times all the more as I age. Well, sort of, that is.

I recall reading Arthur C. Clarke's science fiction novel Against the Fall of Night when I was 11 or 12 and being absolutely captivated by it. Yet this morning I can't think of one single fact about the story. Not one plot detail comes to mind. But I remember sitting on the living room couch and being very taken in as I ate Pringles Potato chips and drank Faygo root beer.

So I think what I'll do is order a copy off Amazon. When it arrives I'll stock up on Pringles and grab a few cans of Faygo root beer, burrow myself into my reading space, and try to capture the feeling all over again, 53 years later. 

Can you relive the past? I'm going to try to find out.
