My older sisters were Enid Blyton fans, in particular, of her Malory Towers series of school-based books. I used to read these too, even though they were probably aimed more at girls than boys. Enjoyed them hugely! I also read the Secret Seven and Famous Five sets.flaming_quills wrote: ↑23 Apr 2019, 12:04 Enid Blyton. Her illustrated works were the first books I picked up, not counting class readers and any other material I used to learn as a kid. I thoroughly enjoyed her books for children and later, her more mature works like the Secret Seven and the Famous Five.

However, I've got to mention Enid Blyton. My mum gave me her copies of the 'famous five' etc., which has the first series I ever read.

Yes! I love Sherlock Holmes. I have a book of his complete works of Sherlock Holmes and I read them all over one summer back in high school.Artizi wrote: ↑09 May 2019, 12:11 Arthur Connan Doyle, for sure. I remember reading (more like devouring) the whole series of Sherlock Holmes books. I did start with A study in Scarlett and then had my parents buy a big collection comprising all the rest of his stories and novels, which I could not put down until it was all finished

Ahhh yes C.S. Lewis is one of my favorites, too. I have all seven Narnia books in one volume. Can’t wait to read them to my kids someday.Only1Cola wrote: ↑28 Apr 2019, 14:31 I never enjoyed reading on my own until I was about 12. I remembered having done a CS Lewis book as a set book in about Grade 4 and thinking it was kind of interesting, but at the time I wasn’t really into it. So I went and got Prince Caspian out of the library and read it on my own. I loved it! So I went and got more CS Lewis books out and that was the beginning of my love of reading.
