I watched the movie for the first time about a week ago, and loved it. I had no idea what it was about. I'm keen to read the book now of course. Remind me if I don't remember when we're setting up the schedule for next year. Then we'll both be able to hold our heads high amongst Texan childrens librarians.Louisehttp://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-6839397625026020652010-09-07T20:40:44.911-05:002010-09-07T20:40:44.911-05:00I fully admit that I have issues.

You have a go...Thanks for commenting and following! You have a good list here. I loved "The Three Musketeers." It has a great mix of swashbuckling action and court intrigue. I think of it as an early James Bond novel with less guns. <br />In reply to your comment on my blog, I wish I could help you figure out that writer's name. I have some guesses: Edith Wharton, Dorothy Parker, and Grace Paley. You could look at this list for further help: <a rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Writers_from_New_York_City</a><br />I'll be following you, too.

I've read some of these books, but nowhere near all. I'm of course reading The Three Musketeers at the moment also (BTW I notice that you've moved onto another doorstopper!). I read most if not all of the Famous Fives, Nancy Drews and Hardy Boys books that I could get my hands on as a young kid. I've read all 21 of the Famous Five out loud to my son a few years ago. I've read a few as an adult- Five Children and it, and Prince Caspian. Shock! I didn't read Narnia as a child either. I've attempted to read it with Lachlan. I loved The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. I read it first to myself, and cried and cried towards the end. I didn't like Prince Caspian as much, and we only got a little way into Voyage of the Dawn Treader before we ran out of steam. I would still like to read the whole series. I have an impression that I might have read Around the World in 80 days but can't be sure. I've bought 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, but not cracked the spine as yet. I haven't read any of the others, much to my own shame. <br /><br />BTW I'm watching an interview on tele right now with Aayan Hirsi Ali, and she describes reading Enid Blyton as subversive! And from their point of view they were. Quite an eye-opening view. This readers digest extract mentions the Blyton connection too. <br />http://www.readersdigest.com.au/an-extract-from-infidel-by-ayaan-hirsi-ali/article179185.htmlLouiseshttp://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-28295736120508783202010-08-24T06:54:43.682-05:002010-08-24T06:54:43.682-05:00I absolutely LOVED the Nancy Drew series.
