Stories and books of our youth

when i and my siblings were very little we were addicted to the narnia set. i think it was the only reason that i learnt to read. i also liked things that i can't read now because of the cringe factor (famous five etc).

good questions there are some that I don't remember, I like little house now, I read them as an adult, there are books I read in school that had these beautiful drawings i can't remember the name of it, I always look through my niece school books looking for this book, even when my daughter was in school, I can't find it, thats another book I could read now, I love books like that brings back memories.nancy drew was a favorite of mine as well.

Hi Karen! When we were young, we would also love to read all types of fairy tales, fantasies, ghost stories and comics. It was a great fun reading those books/magazines. I also encourage my kids to read magazines and books and tell them that there is no better mental exercise than 'reading'. Deepak

Lady, u are talking my language now. Nancy drew was my hero when i was growing up. if i could get a new book by her i was very happy. I also read the hardy boys & trixie belden.

My mom used to read all the time, but never to me as a child. But she did instill in me the desire to read! In forth grade I had to do my first book report, I did it on a book called the boxcar children! It was a series of stories. I got older and remember a book called Street Rod, it was great being from Detroit, we were all in to cars, it was about teens making roadsters out of junk cars! Awesome for a teen boy! LOL! tdemex

Actually, I like reading very much when I was a child. I read Chinese, so the series I'm going to list are probably not very familiar for you, but they really means a lot to me. There is a series named Pipilu and Lusisi, tell a story about a twin brother and a town sister and their fanciful adventure. And another series I liked is Shuke & Beta, its about two cute little mouse, one of them is drives a toy tank, and the other one drives a toy helicopter. When I grow older and learn to read English, I started looking for foreign interesting storys. Then I found the Xanth series, which is wrote by Piers Anthony. The storys make me feel so excited, that I hardly stop reading every time. Now, I addicted to Harry Potter Series and Twilight series very much. Both of them are great works.

I remember attempting to read the Goosebump series with my brother and I would get so scared by them lol. I ended up reading the babysitters club, boxcar children...that kind of thing. When I was much younger it was all about Dr. Seuss. Now my reading habits evolved to like James Patterson and romance novels.

Hello my friend PeacefulWmn9 Ji, Well, I find even same thing going on all around. Remember your mother and my mother, taking us in their laps and indicating towards sky, introducing to moon and stars. Even today same thing is going around. If children weep, they will be warned about something, by which the will keep quiet. Even today, i listen 'Baba, baba black sheep, have any wool, as Sir , yes Sir, two bags full and so on. But one thing, even today, we jhave kept reading same type of social and detective novels. We read them. Why to leave child time habits. I am always tempted. May God bless You and have a great time.

When I was younger I remember being an avid reader of... The Sweet Valley Twins The Bunnicula Series, and most novels I could find by James Howe Most books by Lois Lowery The earlier teen novels by Lois Duncan and Christopher Pike and The Vampire Chronicles

when i was really young i loved Bernstein Bears (1 book in particular I cant remember the name something about cleaning out the attic or a yard sale or something) i just adored that book. anyone now what the name is??

Thanks for taking down memory lane PeacefulWmn9. I loved Nancy Drew books. I also enjoyed anything by Agatha Christie. I will always remember the Christmas I received The Lennon Sisters book. I think there was only one adventure in this series.
