What books do you remember from your childhood?

[theotherguy]

Books were a big part of my childhood. Most of my view on life and current interests stemmed from reading books as a kid. What books do you remember most from your childhood?

Me:
1. Ender's Game
2. Gulliver's Travels
3. Robinson Crusoe
4. The Animorphs Series
5. The Remmenants Series
6. Goosebumps Series
7. K-PAX
8. Wrinkle In Time series
9. Lord of the Rings series

Ender's Game for me too, also Ender's Shadow, Stormbreaker, Narnia Series, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Holes, As Eagles Screamed, Band of Brothers, Rainbow Six(probably shouldn't have read that in 5th grade) and various Calvin and Hobbes "books".
I wasn't a real big reader when I was younger to be honest. I used to hate reading in elementary school until I ran into Ender's Game(excellent book). Now, thankfully I enjoy reading much more.

"There's a Hiar In My Dirt" by garry Larson.(Probably should be considered a comic, albiet a really long comic, but it has a hard cover, so i count it as a comic.

Ender's Game for me too, also Ender's Shadow, Stormbreaker, Narnia Series, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Holes, As Eagles Screamed, Band of Brothers, Rainbow Six(probably shouldn't have read that in 5th grade) and various Calvin and Hobbes "books".

When I was little I used to read the Animal Ark books. I highly doubt anyone here will have heard of them but meh. I've actually still got all of them and they're on a shelf in my room, although it goes without saying that I don't actually read them any more!!! That would be stupidly childish of me!!!

Jeez, I just sat down and read the entire Remnants series from start to finish again last weekend.

Such simplistic writing with one-dimensional charachters, but it was the nostalgia that kept me going.

Whoah, me too. Also read the entire Animorphs series over summer.

This thread is odd, because a couple of days ago I was going to ask if anybody knew about this particular illustrated children's book... it involved a tomato tornado, and at some point there was some kind of "boo!" that my mom scared me with when she read it out loud to me. It was a dr.seuss type book... not actually by doctor seuss, but in that category. You know, trippy characters and stories about leopards with magic spots and such.
