Laura Ingalls Wilder/Little House on the Prairie series, Old Yeller  , Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, Ramona, Judy Blume, Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, and in jr. high those cheesy teen romance books--I wish I could remember the publisher. They all had really cheesy titles and photographs of preppy girls on the covers. I read all the Flowers in the Attic series (and the Heaven series), too. I had to sneak-read them because my mom was convinced they were written by the devil.  
wow, i can't even remember what i read when i was a teenager. i think i got stephen king out of my system. "the stand" was the first "grown-up" book i ever read - my 6th grade teacher gave me a copy, and it was kind of a reading rite of passage for me. even though king isn't exactly "mature reading", i moved on from the likes of judy blume and narnia when i was handed that fat slab of paperback goodness. of course, now i'm 37 and i still read spidey comic books.  I read Christine when I was 12 
I saw a red Plymouth in January - I jumped a mile - still traumatised!!! | |

AMELIA BEDELIA Series
by Peggy Parish and Herman Parish Attention boys and girls, it's time for a vocabulary quiz! (But don't worry, there are only two questions and we'll give you the answers). First question: What is an idiom? An idiom is a word or phrase that says one thing but means another. You may have heard people say "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse." Well, they don't really want to eat a horse --- they're just very hungry. Second question: What is a homonym? A homonym is a word that sounds like another word, but their meanings (and sometimes their spellings) are different. An example would be "son" and "sun" --- the pronunciations are the same but their definitions and spellings aren't. Amelia Bedelia has no idea what idioms or homonyms are. She does exactly what people tell her to do and takes everything they say literally. So when she is told to "put the lights out," she does just that --- she unscrews some light bulbs and takes them outside. Her literal mind frustrates her employers on a number of occasions but, in the end, they always forgive her. It is so much fun reading all about Amelia's strange adventures (or misadventures, I should say). But it's also enjoyable to look at the hilarious illustrations that accompany each story. After all, seeing Amelia smear jelly all over the kitchen floor has got to bring at least a smile to your face. Kidsreads presents this feature on America's most unforgettable housekeeper. Learn more about all the wonderful books in the series and the two people who have written them, take a fun quiz and much more!  I still love these booksSmiling Makes Joy Come Alive........and Joy can never die .........  | |

 "Try to remember how you used to feel about me
and think about how you're treating me now. Then try to reconcile them, if you can. But you don't even remember, do you?" | |

I can't remember, but I was a bookworm and at mid 20's
I stopped reading because of my eyes. The last books I remember reading (not just perusing) was by Orson Scott Card and a book called "Sybil".  | |
