just wondering

Post by toblueiis » Mon Sep 14, 2015 5:49 pm

Hello,

Recently, I was talking with Vic, and we came to realize that as kids, we had both read a book called "The Runaway Robot" by Del Ray. I was wondering, since we all have such a robotic interest, if any other members had read that book as they were growing up?

Thanks,
David

Yup, I read it...and still have it by the way. One of my faves as a kid.

YES!  In the spring of '65, if memory serves, just before LIS took over my life!  It was in the school library.  Here's a link to the edition that I had.

I read it and a kid also. Same cover.

Just don't read that book as an adult.

I read it my son many years ago and I was shocked by the silliness.
