My favorite book was the secret garden as a child. When I grew to be 11 I loved Victoria Holt and read every one of her books. I then moved on to horrors, thrillers etc. One thing my mother did was made sure that I read all of the classics. I am one of the few people I know who has indeed read all of the classic novels. I loved every moment of it. The Count of Monte Cristo, Treasure Island, The Boy King Arthur, Little Women, Pride and Prejudice, Rebecca… the list goes on and on…
It is a toss-up between Dostoevsky’s “Crime and Punishment” and Anton Levay’s “The Satanic Bible.”
Winnie the Pooh
The first time I fell in love with an author, I was probably about 8 years old, and it was Laura Ingalls Wilder. At age 10 it was between Mark Twain, Sterling (what the heck was his first name – Call of the Wild etc.), and A Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes). Then by 13, it was a toss-up between Charles Dickens, the Bronte sisters, and Jane Austen. At 15 I read most of the Bible so that was my obsession that summer. Now? I like a variety of stuff, and I don’t suppose I have a favorite author, though there are definitely some I would never read again. My favorite book is still the Bible.
Oh, I almost forgot – I LOVED these books when I was around 8 (the uncut versions): Charlotte’s Web, Pinocchio, Heidi, and The Wizard of Oz.
And when I was really little, before I really understood the whole “author” thing, I loved anything by P.D. Eastman, and The Little House by E.M. Burnam. SUPER book – can’t wait to share it with my kids!
Oh, by the way, “Sterling” in my first post was really Jack London. Not sure what I was thinking, but a cup of coffee does work wonders, doesn’t it?
I also loved Laura Ingalls Wilder. I really loved “Betsy” books as a child but I can’t find them anymore. I read anything I could get my hands on.
Now, I read Danielle Steele (though her books are to predictable for me now but I still read them just because I‘ve read them all).
Steven King, Mary Higgins Clark
I have to stop here. I read to much, two or three books a week. There are to many to name.
Bailey’s favorite book is called Monkey Trouble. Cute book.
I can’t even think right now what my favorite is. I mostly read autobiographies, most interesting I think was Amy Fisher, the Long Island Lolita. I’m REALLY wanting Chelsea Handlers new book, Hello Vodka, it’s me Chelsea. I love her and watch her EVERY single night!!
It’s Dr. Seuss now. We ALL love his books which makes them easier for us to read to Dylan.
I like short romance/spy type books. If they are over 400 pages, I lose interest because I don’t have long stretches to read.
