I think because my name is Melanie and that was one of the few books that had a Melanie.<BR/><BR/>Smallworld--I loved that one as a kid and wanted to run away to a musuem. I think i still do actually!<BR/><BR/>heather-- seems like a good many participants were reading above their age level. I wonder about how that has affected adult reading habits. Do the kids who had lower reading skills read now? Do we like reading because we were able to read better stuff earlier?Melaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13215448457283751470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933604.post-87201784747527415952008-05-15T10:39:00.000-05:002008-05-15T10:39:00.000-05:00You sound a lot like me with the "adult" books. I wrote about the same thing in my post (although I still did enjoy "regular" kids books).Heather Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10474181812740579350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19933604.post-58834345374368184272008-05-14T21:21:00.000-05:002008-05-14T21:21:00.000-05:00I recently had the pleasure of reading From the Mixed Up Files... to my daughter.

I read it so many times I think it finally fell apart. I may have to go to the library to get it again. It is one book I will reread. I too was reading books that were probably not quite right for my age, but I did like the Sweet Valley High ones.Julihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14489408093943271805noreply@blogger.com
