Damn that shits perverted. Look what knowledge has done to us :(

Those were always cool. I'd always keep my thumb in the last section i'd turned from so i could go back and make the other choice if i died :cool:

oh yeah, did you guys have RIF where you got to go pick out a free book. i miss RIF.

I went through a rebelious phase where all I read were Choose Your Own Adventure books.

i was all over those. hell yeah.

I owned every single Christopher Pike and R.L. Stine Book. I also had a bunch of other young adult horror/suspense books. And then there were those books by Lurlane McDaniel or something that were all about teenage girls with terminal illnesses.

I recently donated all those books to the John Edwards Iowa Book Drive (365 of them).

sweet valley twins!

lolz.

RL stine. and although I don't remember buying any, I know I read quite a few Babysitters Club books. I thought Claudia was so cool :erm. And any book that was on the reading list during the school year, because you could win prizes and stuff if you read a certain number. awwwww elementary school.

I still read RL stine books just yesterday ****** and i got about 5 of them. I read one yesterday and ugh it was so stupid!

:D <3

That's John Edward.

Last night, I called some guy and this was the beginning of our conversation...

me: ...John Edwards for President campaign.

guy: President for what company?

me: Uh, the United States.

(laughter from my co-worker)

(laughter from me)

guy: Oh, right.

A Catcher in the Rye

Well maybe the book itself isn't that cheesy, just shit (imo). It's only the people that rant about how fucking "great" it is who come across as cheesy.

Ralph S. Mouse.

"where the red fern grows" still makes me cry :erm

So then you're saying he <i>can</i> talk with the dead? Shit, if he can talk to Abe Lincoln and George Washington, I'll vote for him.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark

OMF! Weren't those the "Scary Stories" books that had all those weird sketchy black and white drawings in them?

I actually found one of them while I was moving. My favourite was always the one with the girl who had a pimple but she realized it wasn't a pimple that it was a spider nest in her face and it broke open and all the baby spiders came out. :D

I still get freaked out whenever I get a pimple. :erm :(


Anyhow, I used to love R.L.Stine with a passion. Goosebumps got boring quick but I loved those stupid Fear Street books.

My mom used to ready me the SS alphabet book, T was my fave because it was the terrible tickler
=-[

Choose Your Own Adventure. Motherfuckers.

i was totally obsessed with goosebumps. i was in the club, i had every book 1-40 something, i had tshirts, the board game, the whole deal. now when i read them they're the most retarded books ever. sheesh, what was i thinking?

None really. I didn't read much when I was a kid. I'm half illiterate.

I used to read those... um Narnia series when I was really young.

the Hardy Boys were a great series.

Goosebumbs. I mus have read every single one of them. I think their was like 60 or so in teh classic goosebums series. Heh heh, good times.

did any of you read the boxcar children?

here goes.

small child- typical kid stuff- rober munsch, dr seuss, the serendipity books, little critter, berenstain bears, etc, etc.

kindergarten/grade 1/grade 2- ramona & other beverly cleary books, a bit of roal dahl

grade 3- 5: judy blume (FOREVER is a dirty classic), babysitters club, sleepover friends, sweet valley twins, sweet valley high, the taffy sinclair books, fabulous five, louis sachar, gordon korman, sweet dreams (teen harlequins, basically)

grade 6-7: christopher pike, fear street (briefly, i noticed a similar theme after about 5 books), and the incomparable VC ANDREWS

c. pike was DA BOMB. my fave was whisper of death... where they go to get the abortion and came back to an abandoned city.

tiger eyes was so cool.
and DEENIE-- the model with scoliosis who masturbated in the tub!
and just as long as we're together!

i can't wait until i find a copy of FOREVER hidden under my preteen daughter's bed. tee hee!

i had a huge collection of judy blume books. i had literally every single one. my mum read forever and then told me to read it. hehe. i even had "letters to judy".
then there was christopher pike. my absolute favourite was the graduation trilogy...i actually still like it haha.
i had pretty much every one of those too. i liked road to nowhere after the graduation trilogy.
then when i was a little younger i read fabulous five, a whole heap of enid blyton books, i had a huge collection of those...i liked a lot of those lame american series like sleepover friends, fours a crowd, babysitters club (had so many of those) sweet valley twins (had heaps of those too), the not for blondes only club, etc etc.
i loved john marsden (aussie author) and his "tomorrow when the war began" series...i still think that he did a really fantastic job with those. those books really affected me.
