I have this awesome set of Roald Dahl stories that are NOT for kids. The quote about him on the front is that his mind is "quintessentially nasty and wicked." A true inspiration.

Until junior high I read:
"Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators" mysteries.
The Chronicles of Narnia.
The Hobbit and LOTR.
Treasure Island.
Ivanhoe.
"Choose Your Own Adventures".
Tintin.
Flash Gordon.
National Geographic.
Then in junior high I started reading Stephen King; "Nightshift" scared my pants off.
Read "Wifey" by Judy Blume. Damn!
Finally started reading straight sci fi: Larry Niven, Isaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Ray Bradbury.

When I was 8, 9, 10 I read more than I do now  . My favorite book was nonfiction... Mitch Albom's Fab Five, about (obviously) the Michigan basketball quintet in the early '90s. At night or in the car when I was in Lebanon in the summer of '01 my brother and I would play rock paper scissors to see who could read it for the next five minutes, over and over again. Most of the pages were torn out from beign used so much.

I had I Am Jackie Chan,when I was younger. It's an autobiography of. well, Jackie Chan. I remember reading it for like a month and only getting half way through it. I found it got kinda boring after the theater school part was over, but I was like 12 when I read it.
