What was the first adult book that you ever read? (adult in as much as I mean grown up).
I was 10 and shopping with my Mom in the Co-op. At the checkout was a wire circular book rack which squeaked loudly as you turned it, crammed full of thrashy American half a crown novels. My eyes were drawn to one in particular, it had a black cover with a spooky alien face in the top left hand corner and an eerie ginger coloured figure wearing glasses to the right.
My Mom said no to my pleading and I watched in horror week after week, as the book rack slowly emptied - but the one I wanted so badly stayed firmly put, waiting for me. Finally, Mom dug deep into her purse and gave me the money, five tanner pieces. That night, I read up to page 54 before falling asleep. I still have book 40 odd years later, yellowing but still loved, it sits pride of place on my bookshelf. Happy memories.
Oh, the book!!! J.Hunter Holly - 'The Gray Aliens'.
J. Hunter Holly was in fact, a lady sci-fi writer, maybe the first. I know she loved cats (from the dedications) and died in 1982, aged 50. She was also a huge 'Man from Uncle' fan and wrote one of the books in the UNCLE series ( I have a signed copy). Other than that. I now little about her. If anyone out there can add to my knowledge, I'd be so grateful.

Just like my favorite movies and TV shows, there are several books I go back to time and time again. Maltese Falcon, To Kill a Mockingbird, and two books I had from when I was a kid, A Room for Cathy and Sal Fisher at Girl Scout Camp.
What books have your read more than once?

There are always books that you start reading but then never finish, some of mine are Hound, Road to Ruin and Silmarillion.
What are yours?
