    What childhood books have shaped your views of certain things?

    I remembered another one. Did anyone ever read Go Ask Alice? There was one tatty copy that got handed around like wildfire in grade 10 - [SPOILER ALERT] everyone thought it was totally a true story - and I honestly believe it did a lot to shape the anti-drugs stance that many of my friends took, bearing in mind that was the late 80s & early 90s when the whole E & rave culture was MASSIVE.

    I stumbled across a 2nd hand copy the other day & snapped it up. Of course I know now it was all a crock, and I'm dying to re-read now with my adult brain LOL

    Whoops. LOL. Guess I should have put a spoiler alert in there. In our defence that was before the internet was even invented so everyone was 700% more naive than they are now.
