Most delicious media

(Anonymous) 2025-06-14 11:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Not necessarily the best media, but the things that are most personally appealing. Unless the things that make it objectively good make it appeal to you personally. Things that just happen to have the qualities you like in media.

A few books

(Anonymous) 2025-06-14 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
- the second and third (and sometimes fourth) Harry Potter books. Some people would get mad, but I'm not giving JKR money or participating in fandom. I've owned all the books since childhood.
(I sort of want to play the recent game... but I try to be a good person.)

- 'The Murder of my Aunt' by Richard Hull. I'm sure I'd have a hard time finding books that have the same appeal, because it's mostly due to the characters. Of course I've read other 'inverted mysteries' and books from the POV of the bad guy. I have read a few of the author's other books. 'Murder isn't Easy' had some of the same appeal, but the only other reprinted one 'Excellent Intentions' wasn't so interesting, although I did learn more than I ever needed to about stamp collecting and how snuff is used.

- some of those silly horror/mystery books that were popular in the 90s. I loved reading them as a kid when I found them at the thrift store. Like Fear Street (and the recent movie was pretty good too). I still sometimes read them when I feel like reading something purely for entertainment, the way some people read 'chick lit' or whatever.

- certain 'Animorphs' books (another thing I'd get at the thrift store as a child). Sometimes the sillier ones like #14. I also have a soft spot for 'The Andalite Chronicles' since the first pairing I ever shipped was from that book.

Man, I was obsessed with the Animorphs as a kid. There was a used book dealer at the flea market we would visit and she sold them for 25 cents each. I eventually owned every one and donated them to the local library when I moved away as an adult.

They were literally the first books that got me interested in reading. I didn't read much as young child despite being capable of it, and when we had to check out library books I only looked at the picture books. My teacher even complained to my parents that I wasn't reading books at my reading level.

Then when I was seven or so, I had to take a class in a different classroom, and the kid who normally had the desk I was sitting at had two books in his desk - one about how to survive things like avalanches and being lost at sea, and one Animorphs book (#6, the one where Jake gets infested by a Yeerk). I started reading them out of boredom after finishing my work, and then asked my mom to take me to the public library so I could check out a bunch of Animorphs books. I loved reading after that.

The Little House books were that for me but Animorphs was a huge part of my childhood reading love. I SOBBED during the last book. Tobias, Cassie, the ending???
