Lol you can't say the hobbit is hard going if you have tom and huck finn. I read all the time and have read all sorts but I read the hobbit and Lord of the rings every year, always start around November December to bring christmas in. |

I had an obsession with native Americans (Indians)
I knew all the tribes their territories and their rituals.
I devoured loads of books about them and did projects about them at school.
I was a very strange child. |

Famous Five and Secret Seven here too...also a book called (I think) The Silver Sword about young refugees during the war. Tried stuff like Jennings, Biggles and Just William but didn't really like them.

I remember The Silver Sword, my teacher read it to my class when I was in Year 5. I totally forgot about it until you mentioned it then |

I adored the Redwall Trilogy by Brian Jacques and after googling it just found out he carried on the series and there are LOADS more books!
I know what I'm buying for the kids this Christmas!!

"The Magic Faraway Tree - Enid Blyton is and always will be my favourite book. I read it again a couple of years ago and it was just as fabulous as I remembered.  "
I used to read those, moon face, the mad woman that used to chuck water the tree!
I like tuppeny fifo and jinx as well!
I read most Enid blyton books, Dahl, Beatrix Potter, even went to her house, it was made into a shop I think, I was only small when I went there. |

The Enormous Crocodile when I was really little.
When I was about 9 I used to binge read the Redwall series and the Deptford Mice books. Also loved the Hobbit and LOTR. From about 12 I was all about the Bronte's. |

Myself and my friend were talking about the books we read as kids just a few days ago.
As young, young kids we used to love going into the shop to look on the spinning carousel for a new ladybird book once we'd graduated on from the Mr.Men ones.
Can anybody remember the 1970's school book series for infant/junior school children with the characters including Jennifer yellow hat.. And any of the other characters?? |

All of the above. I was a prolific reader as soon as I learnt how. I always had my nose in a book.
The Anne of Green Gables series was a firm favourite too. Oh Gilbert! |

The Hobbit, The Borribles, The Borrowers, Anne of Green Gables, Little Women, What Katy Did, The Belgariad, various Enid Blytons, Lewis Carroll, Hans Christian Andersen, the Brothers Grimm, Alison Uttley. Plus loads and loads of others. I loved reading and still do. I had a book read to me in jest this week; it was oddly sexy. |

Update...
Just popped into my local favourite secondhand book shop looking for some Dahl & Blyton... came away with The Twits & a tattered copy of James & The Giant Peach and Twilight & Vicky Angel by Jacqueline Wilson.

Enid Blyton was a firm favourite, followed by C.S Lewis.
As I got older, secondary school age, Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Bronte Sisters... Still re read these today.
