Doc Savage and his Five Aides

Speaking of Doc Savage. Oh, I guess we weren't were we? Nonetheless, I have to say that of all the books I've read for entertainment purposes the ones I remember most fondly were the Doc Savage series. I read the most of them in 1969 when I was 15 years old and very impressionable. I spent the whole summer reading and drove my whole family crazy because that was all I would do. It was pure heaven. I remember the first one I ever bought was (Bantam of course) The Sargasso Ogre.

I was enthralled by this story about the Bermuda Triangle. I never knew a thing about it until then.
I admit that the reading was geared to the young teenage mind but then I was a young teenager and it suited me perfectly. (How unfortunate that I have not progressed emotionally past that stage in my life. Sigh.) I have been drawn to all facets of science and science fiction and believe I did progress a bit more in school after my introduction to this series.
If you have never read any of the DS books, I would recommend them, not as an avenue to higher learning but most assuredly as a way to spark the interest in the juvenile mind. Either your own or some child you know that needs a little push to get him to enjoy his reading a bit more.
