#2It feels reassuring that none of these surprised me, and I strive towards a lot of these views/learnings already. Hopefully a good sign! Packard's writings help give me a little more clarity too, especially when written in such a thoughtful way. Very cool <3

#3I still have my first edition Cave of Time. I don't think it's a first printing though but still, when they came out it was simply awesome. I got the first 6 books in a pack for my birthday, I shared them later on with my children and they loved them too when they were young.

I used to think I had read that one... but after a days-long argument on the scifi SE, turns out it had been Return to the Cave of Time.

I bought my son "The Whole Enchilada", the pack of 100+ Edward Packard authored CYOA books. (No RA Montgomery titles)
He liked the Encyclopedia Brown books & Two Minute Mystery books I bought him so I thought he'd like the CYOA books as well since I cherished them as a kid but alas, he never got into them like I did.
I'm hoping he likes Infocom text adventures better when I introduce those to him later.

The irony in this comment is palpable.

Encouraging others with positivity to be kind is rarely a bad thing.
Dismissing others that try to spread positivity is rarely a good thing.

>The result is dismissive of other humans that dont strive to be happy or a "good person".
This has to be satire.
