Is there a book or something from your childhood that made a major impact on your life and got you interested in astronomy?

I first became interested in Astronomy in college. The works that made that interest into a lifelong pursuit were Richard Feynman's "Six Easy Pieces" and the companion work "Six Not So Easy Pieces". My interest in Astronomy has always been tied to the study of Physics and Chemisty. Without these other two branches of science Astronomy is rather empty to me. DT
