What Book(s) From Your Childhood Do You Still Love Today?

The Chronicles of Narnia is still a favorite series of mine. I also still love Bram Stoker's Dracula. Born on Halloween, I think I had strange, adult tastes.

Well I only read Dracula a few years ago, so it doesn't really apply for this thread for me I guess but it as an awesome book.

One book series I read when I was younger and still totally adore is the Mallory Tower series by Enid Blyton. And Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Along with most of the books by the two authors.

Seriously. I've just realized lately that a lot of the books I read this year were all found in Young Adult. And I'm way passed that age

I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I'm definitely past the age where I should read (much less enjoy) YA books but I still do! I don't know why I have such a hard time getting into adult fiction books...

back to the subject - I always like Wait Till Helen Comes which I read when I was really young, but it's still good! RL Stine books (not so much Goosebumps anymore but the Fear Street, Babysitters, and Cheerleaders) can still make me feel creeped out

All of Laura Ingalls Wilder books inluding Little House on the Prairie, Silver Lake and These Happy Golden Years. Once in a while I'll pick one up and re-read with pleasure

Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle by Avi
and I loved the Nancy Drew books. My grandmother used to read them to me for hours every night before bed when I would stay with her over the summers. It was great. I still love them to this day even though I really don't like mystery books very much.
