Childhood nostalgia poll

[rachelmanija]

Please reminisce, fondly or not, about any of these, or other books read in childhood, especially if they seem to have, deservedly or undeservedly, vanished from the shelves. I'd love to hear about non-US, non-British books, too.

Oh God, VC Andrews. The cool girls in 5th grade discovered those (and, importantly, discovered that they had sexy stuff in them) and for the next two years EVERYBODY in my class read them obsessively.

Which was, of course, especially ironic for the kids whose parents wouldn't let them take sex ed. But yeah, so many young libidos, warped forever. :)
