Books when we were younger Did anyone ever read the books Blubber or Go Ask Alice when they were younger.. For some reason those 2 stick out in my mind and I can't remember much about them... Does anyone have any special book they loved when they were younger?
Sweet Valley novels were also my favorites! | |

I loved "Matilda" when I was young. And R.L. Stine's "Fear Street" books. -------
A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti... "I've just had an apostrophe!" "I think you mean an epiphany..." | |

Great thread silkyspread! (Hey that rhymes...)
Ever since Lleena mentioned Roald Dahl on that other thread I thought this would be a good idea for a thread. I loved Fantastic Mr. Fox (by Dahl) when I was a kid! I also loved the Narnia books. ReepaCheep (Sp?) was a hoot. | |

When I was a kid, I read a lot of Ray Bradbury short stories...as well as attempted to read "Brave New World" (my brother left both behind when he went to college, and I just started readin' them...)...I don't remember really reading any "kid-oriented" books, other than Mad magazine... 
I also seem to recall reading a lot of edit statements as a kid... [This message was edited Tue Feb 25 11:17:13 PST 2003 by wellbeyond] | |

I totally dug Mad magazine!  I even copied Aragones style very closely for a number of years...in fact "Skele-Gesundheit" is obviously Aragones-inspired... 
Richie Rich comics... A Wrinkle in Time... Some Hardy Boys...hmmm...didn't really start reading havey until age 20. Fear is the mind-killer. | |
