neverending stories

My favourite childhood bedtime storybook was this big pictorial book called The Odyssey. It started my anything-mythology craze since then until now. I still have the book in my book. There's several books fron my childhood that I still keep. The pictures are very beautifully drawn and detailed. I loved it to death.

Loved it the most when my dad read the part where Odysseus tricked Cyclops into drinking the wine...

*thumbs up to Greek mythology*

I'm not a guy la. Girls can like fantasy stuff also ya. 

Anyway as mentioned, it was a pictorial book. The pages are filled with oil painting-esque drawings with words. The size of the book is like a folder's size. My mom saved some of the marketing money to buy it for me. I like it so much that everytime I walk into Big Book Shop (at Petaling Street before it close down) and spent the longest time oogling and drooling at the book. Took me a long time trying to learn how to pronounce Odysseus back then
