I can't believe you listed Harry Potter. You've just lost all my respect.

Whilst no one can deny that I am indeed wonderful, I don't see how anyone could say the same for Harry Potter. It's great, if you're nine.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Goosebumps series is also good for youngsters, I mean I read them in second grade.

i used to read those like crazy for two reasons:

1. they were weird. even if pretty badly written, they were for younger readers, and they were wierd so i liked them. especially 'vampires breath'

2. they were cheap. i had to buy my own books cas my mom never had enough money, and i could buy 5 of them at a shot if i saved for a little.

GOOSEBUMPS! I haven't thought about that in a long time.

I also used to read a boatload of Christopher Pike.

He's awesome. His books are so addicting... XD

I find that reading books for 7-10 year olds boosts my creativity. It makes me feel little again. ^^
