I've commented on some of the series and books I read that people have already mentioned. I could probably list more, but am a bit brain fried at the moment.
I mainly wanted to comment on the Bobbsey Twins books. I semi-actively collect them. I'm completely fascinated by the way they rewrote the exact same stories multiple times between 1904 and, well, now. I've got editions published in each decade of the 20th century with the earliest being an original 1904 printing of the first book. Unfortunately, it's a bit harder to always find the exact same volume. That's where I need to work on filling in.
I started down this road because I remember being very confused about the way some things happened in the books my mother gave me that had been her childhood copies (changing social mores FTW!). As I got older, I found the changes more fascinating. Probably because I'm just weird that way.
