The Tom Swift series turned me in to the nerd/geek/wonk I've been throughout my life (or I was already one and just gravitated to the books)

Tom Swift and The Sonic Book Trap was my first sci fi novel when I was 8. Fell in love with spec fiction from that moment on. Weirdly though, don't write any myself (bar one SS The Seasonal Collector published in 2010)

Was Tom Swift the kid who had to battle with the robot crows, or was it Johnny Quest?

“Girl, you in trouble,” said Tom ominously.

E.E. Smith was way ahead of the curve on identity theft. It's the entire premise for the Lensman series. Which really should be made into movies.

I loved those books when I was a boy. I even hunted up the pre-war books at thrift stores and used bookstores.
