Dragonlance...

[juldea]

I have such a freaking addictive personality. Now that I've restarted reading the Dragonlance books, I MUST READ THEM ALL. Even the 50 or so that have been published since I stopped collecting them. Faugh. At least I don't plan on buying all of those... just borrowing them from the library or something.

But why do I even have this urge? The series is total cheese! Most of the books are crap! I won't gain any respect for reading the entire series; I might even lose it from a few people!

I do this obsessive thing... Before the Dragonlance revival it was Wicked, and it's been Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Joss Whedon shows, Dashboard Confessional, A Song of Ice and Fire, Radiohead, MST3k - books, movies, TV, music, you name it. I get a glimmer of like for something and I dive head-first into the sea of fandom. I even collected the original Pokemon cartoon on tape for a while (I still have a few taking up space in boxes - should do something about them.)

It all started with the Babysitter's Club. I blame Ann Martin!!

Okay now I'm not to afraid to admit I believe I have the whole series of Babysitters Club books somewhere at my parents house.. :P

I had around 40 of them at my height of collecting, about 5-6th grade, but I gave them all away in 8th. I remember this because I brought the entire box of them to All-City Band practice, which was a group for kids under high school age, and I was one of the oldest ones there and wouldn't be around the next year. :) The box was empty by the end of practice...

... Thinking back to all of this it makes me realize how old I'm starting to feel :P... I doubt when my son hits 4th or 5th grade they will probably have no idea of the series even, it's starting to make me sad :) (Not that the books were that good, just how fast time seems to fly now).
