Default Books you read as a child?

I am redecorating my bedroom and I found loads of books from when I was in primary school like Sabrina, Buffy, So Little Time and Two Of a Kind haha they're worthless but I feel like I can't just throw them out

What did you guys read as kids?

Most Roald Dahl, like James and the Giant Peach and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Enid Blyton books like Secret Seven, Adventure Series, Faraway Tree.

I also read Asterix and Tintin comic books.

Your posts and the books in them remind me of my kids when they were little A.J.

They all loved Goosebumps.

I read; War and Peace by Tolstoy, Dead Souls by Gogol.... Just kidding.

I read so many, but my favourites were; Treasure Island and The Master of Ballantrae by Robert Louise Stevenson, The Invisible Man, War of The Worlds and The History of Mr Polly - HG Wells, ANYTHING by Charles Dickens, and The Martian Chronicles and Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury.

I also devoured War Comics and The Eagle, Hotspur, and the Dandy and Beano and lots of Sci-Fi and poetry anthologies.

And I STILL spent every available moment out playing.
