Where do you save notes from 2006? How do they survive computer crashes and such?
Text files on my desktop, generally. The files I tend to lose in crashes are music and e-mail, because they take the longest to back up; I have random stray documents floating around this machine that date back to high school.
I really enjoyed these books too--at least the ones I read, which I think was only the first three (though now I'm curious about Time and Mr. Bass).
It's divisive, I think; I had a lot of trouble with it as a child and I know people who came to it as adults and feel it broke the series. I liked it much better on re-read in 2006 and that opinion has stayed with me. It is a very different kind of book from The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet, but there's thirteen years between them.
The first one fully convinced me that YES, I too could build a spaceship. It was hugely empowering.
Yes! That is an important thing to believe as a child. And even not as a child, whether or not you ever build one.
