COtuner Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 What do you really remember, books you read over and over and have a fond attachment for to this day? I have hundreds I think, but I'll list a few that come to mind: 1. The Black Stallion series 2. My Friend Flicka / Thunderhead / Green Grass of Wyoming 3. The White Panther 4. Pagoo 5. Joy Adamson's books 6. Wildfire by Zane Grey 7. Albert Payson Terhune's collie books 8. Golden Dog 9. Black Tiger 10. Wish for a Pony 11. National Velvet 12. Bambi (the original by Felix Salten) 13. The White Stag 14. The Good Master 15. The Rabbit Hill series 16. The Cricket in Times Square series Wow... I can't believe how many just popped into my head right away. Who else has a sentimental attachment to their favorite books from childhood? Link to comment

COtuner Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 Any Bobbsey Twins readers here? I used to like those. Especially the one where they went to Africa. Also liked the Hardy Boys. Read the Little House books but not sure I really got into those - it was more my mother's idea. Had a lot of short story collections in hardcover bound editions, that looked like encyclopedias or something. Link to comment
