Those books that you flipped through and things popped out
choose your own ending series
Naunehaal
Dr. Who
akhbar-e-jahan ->stranger than fiction urdu version
First, there was the miscellaneous assortment of children's story books that I read in childhood. Then, I graduated to Naunehaal - my first childhood magazine. I would finish the whole magazine in one day and wait rest of the month for the next edition. :D
Rest were Enid Blytons, Tin Tin, miscellaneous comic books, Imran Series, Inspector Jumshade etc.
Of all of my childhood reads, Imran Series was the funniest and the most entertaining. In the near future, I hope acquire some of Imran Series novels.

hehe.. kia yaad dilaya. Which ones did you have? i had only a few, used to bum some off my friends and other places. i had an "Adventures in space" (that was mine, and i LOVED it), a Maya one (in which you were lost in some ancient Mayan site centuries ago), and the third one (it was my sister's) was being lost in an Egyptian musuem, and you were stuck inside at night when the curators et al had all left and you had to find your way out after all the pharoahs etc came to life. Those books were so cool..... i used to cheat and read the endings first, then back-track my way to the beginning. That way you didn't have to die some miserable death in space or in the pyramids :D man i haven't seen those books in Canada for a loooooong time.
