Ladywriter 7,783 Report post Posted September 19, 2012 I was a reader as a kid. As soon as I could read I did and a lot. There were some books I read over and over Charlotte's Web was a super favorite. I liked the Ramona and Henry books, the Narnia Chronicles, Wrinkle in Time (haven't watched the movie they made for it yet) Boxcar Children series. The best books I read for elementary school were Island of the Blue Dolphins and Where the Red Fern Grows. I liked Sounder too. Mr Rabideau had us reading some sad shit yo Now that we're all apparently older then dirt and are doing the fam thing starting the fam thing have friends doing the fam thing I just figured I'd kick that literature out there, its great stuff from a lil girl's perspective anybody read any of that and add yer faves Quote Look at the flowers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dubird 6,815 Report post Posted September 20, 2012 Holy crap, I thought I was the only one that read the Boxcar Children! o.@ No one else I know remembers it. But yeah, read all of those. Also read a lot of Nancy Drew books. Used to love that series! There was also a series I read about a family with 10 kids that used to solve minor crimes. Something that started with an H and came red covers. >< Quote Yesterday was the deadline for all complaints! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Strider Hiryu 2,704 Report post Posted September 20, 2012 Spent a lot of time reading as a child but hell if I remember most of what I read though I was a fan of the Boxcar Children, a huge fan of Goosebumps (yes I loved these books as a child), and a friend of mine got me into Dinotopia (though where I left off reading them I forgot so long ago, haven't touched them since 5th/6th grade).

Pchan 5,162 Report post Posted September 21, 2012 I see and hear of a lot of pre-10 year olds read the new 50 Shades Of Grey series. Few years ago, Twilight was massive. Few year prior to that, Potter was. How times have changed ... I began reading Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, Sherlock Holmes and a bunch of detective books as a kid.
