[funkychickie]

its just got me thinkin cause we were talkin about this at skool the other day...
what books did people read throughout their childhood

i loved enid blyton and the magic faraway tree... and i read almost all her books...


i think it came from their world being better then ours with topsy turvy land and others.. ummm i also read like all her secret seven and famous five... and all the ones about bording school with amelia jane
and babysitters club
and i also used read emily rodda and her teen power incorporated
and then most like crime fiction books, and nancy drew hey its all coming back to me...
i like harry potter now...
so who read what...??? can include comics i guess...

 

[ladypenelope85]

i loved teen power!

oh and nancy drew... i'm trying to figure out how to include her in my crime fiction independent investigation never quite got the hardy boys though

did anyone read the gymnasts (i think they were a spinoff of the babysitters club)

and the narnia series, and anne of green gables

anything with jocelyn osgood, nothing with cairo jim!

Christopher Pike thrillers - dead set good shit
Asterix comics - dead set best out there, funny shit
The last vampire series

I read anything really, but most of it was thrillers/horror

 

[um..]

mein kampf

nah i used to read christopher pike too....remember that series about the vampire chick? she was awesome

and the tomorrow when the war began series, and any history books i could get my greasy little hands on

and australia's surfing life. i have a near encyclopaedic knowledge of that mag

 

[Nose Bleed]

haha mein kumpf

yeah c.pike was the best + my sis bought them all so i just leeched off her
i love the one about scuba diving and the one about some chick sati who is god and its called sati

 

[um..]

yeah sati, the vampire

oh hang on
he wrote the one about a god called seti, who was like a lizard type thingo

i cant remember, i did some hard core drugs in year 5 and it fucked me over. we had methadone clinics in the dunnies at my school man. crazy hammer talk

 

[Lazy]

No no no, her name is Sita, that was her old name back in the day. The name she goes by these days is Alisa

Bit of a psycho bitch

 

[Ollz San]

err.....I loved babysitters club
I still do actually....harharh

and some detective books by hitchcock.

and goosebumps series.

and Jap comics.

 

[funkychickie]

hey thats right

i had the whole series of anne of green gables and i also liked hardy boys... hey i also read flowers in the attic in year 5 or year 4 cause my best friends mum owned it.. hehe i think i was a bit of a mature reader, though i think if i read it now i might catch more details then i did back then...
and then i read john marsdens books and i met him... he was really quite disappointing.

 

[tooheyz]

i read alot of books...

goosebumps
paul jeannings books as well as mr dahls

big friendy giant and the witches were my fav books

 

[Minai]

Choose Your Own Adventure - that was suspensful
Tintin - awesome

 

[Lazy]

I couldnt stand those bloody Choose your own adventure books! I dont think i ever sucessfully got through one without dying half a dozen times.

There is a fork in the road ahead, you can go either left or right.
To turn left go to page 94
To turn right go to page 156

*Turns to page 156*

i think i read heaps of biographies of musicians.
don't think i learnt much from them. except heaps of them are blind/deaf.

oh and i remember that i started reading 'fear street' because i thought i was getting too mature for the goosebump stuff.

 

[EvilIsAnArtForm]

My all time fave Kids book was Whose Legs Are Those? I got it when I was 3....now i can read it to my lil bros!!

but as a teenager i read:
goosebumps
christopher pike thrillers

and i use to go read random books from the school library

I am still yet to finish the never ending story i started it when i was 11 lol i'm 18 now

Babysitters Club (big time)
R.L.Stine: Goosebumps then the Fear Street series.
Which turned out to be good because i could write really scary stories in English!

 

[Sarah J]

The Babysitter's club was the main one for me. The rest were really filler-in-erers until the next BSC book came out. I had everything- the board game, the mysteries, the supermysteries.. even the Babysitter's Club Guide For Babysitting.

So, so sad.

I read a few of the teen power books, lots of Roald Dahl's, heaps of Goosebumps, and lots of individual novels.

It's so sad though- I remember reading all those books and thinking, "Wow! I can't wait until I'm 13! I'll be so grown up."
Those books give a warped view of the world.
