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.

Ahahahahaha OH MAN THOSE ONES.

Yeah, at twelve-or-so I remember reading through The Valley of the Horses and skimming through those innumerable purple prose sex scenes (they put that in a BOOK! Can you DO that??), and then going back to reread them in furtive confused embarrassment.
