Sorry I was gone all day...found THREE Trojan horse viruses on my computer that have been keeping me from posting. Buggers. I've managed to quarantine them with Norton, but my computer guy will be here on Friday to completely wipe them out, hopefully! Thanks to everyone who posted today...such memories! And it's surprising how many of us read the same books...or is it? I mean, our favorites are the ones we share with others! ev, hang on to that copy…I went to an Antiquarian store YEARS ago and the copy that looked like MY father’s sold for nearly $200!

In the sixth and seventh grade I read every book (the librarian started holding them for when someone turned one in I hadn't checked out). I thought the Judy Blume books were good to - 'Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret' was the one I remember most. When I was younger though 'Where the Windl Things Are' was a great book I remember. 'Charlotte's Web' and the 'Little House' books were also winners. I left all of those behind when I discovered Harlequin in the eighth grade. I never looked back...

Of Course the Beverly Cleary books about the Ralph the mouse, her other books were great too. Charlie and the chocolate factor. Judy Bloom and her Fudge Series of books and other great books. These are the ones I remember the most. I also read James and the Giant Peach. I really think your daughter would get a kick out of reading Judy Blume novels.:cheer: by far Nancy Drew books.

And I guess my love of romance books started at an early age. I remember reading Judy Blume's "Forever" and turning in a book report on it in the 6th grade. I also vividly remember my teacher's eyebrows arching so high they hit her hairline. I got an A on the book report, though.

It's really old. I read anything I could get my hands on. I ventured out into Sci-fi when I was 8 thanks to the MacCaffrey Dragon Books. Mom had it out and I read it. Then I moved into mysteries she felt we ok. I was never told I couldn't read something. If I wanted to try it, I did. I did all the nancy drew/hardy boys books. As a little kid I loved Make Way For Ducklings. Still do. And harold and the Purple Crayon. And Curious George. Although we have perverted that one at work. I love being in the kids section- I keep buying books for the twins. And I am having a blast doing it!!:cheer: I have my father’s copy of Little Black Sambo. It’s really old.

"Little Black Sambo". It actually was a book about "India" and the confusion involved "Sambo" the name. The author was Helen Bannerman and there is a free ebook on the internet at, www.gutenberg.org/etext/17824 Didn't Disney do it later in a revised version?
