Oh shit, I absolutely loved that when I was little. I was given robinson crusoe when I was in 1st or 2nd grade, and it stuck with me for quite a while.

Watership Down

Holy shit! My dad read me that one when I was little too! Gave me nightmares.

I still loved it.

Yes, real good. Got rid of cute bunnies image and replaced it with fight-to-the-death rabbits.

Did you ever watch the movie? I remember my mom turning it off halfway though because it was so creepy. I had nightmares for days.

Yeah, it was only a part of the book but it did a great job of including most disturbing details.

Yes, saw it. I guess we're lucky Disney didn't cartoon it.

I'll have to introduce my kid to this. I remember this now but has been lost to me.

Its a long book. I've read it several times and own it. I had a library copy to read that my grade school librarian recommended to me. I read the book every night and placed it in the same spot on my bedside table. Until one day... I look for disappeared book everywhere, no one sees it, no one has it, I'm blamed for misplacing it. I have to do the walk of shame and tell the librarian I lost the book that was recommended to me. I had to pay a fine to replace it in the library. Middle of summer, schools over for the year, sibling strolls by and gives me the book because sibling was finally finished reading it and gives me the lame excuse that the book was sitting there every day and I wasn't reading it so shut up etc. I still have that same hard cover library book Watership Down (finally got to finish it when it came back).

I didn’t really read a lot growing up (parents didn’t really push it). But, I liked The Giver, Animorphs, and obviously loved Dr Seuss.

Last days of summer was good for a YA.

The North and South trilogy by John Jakes. "Nigger, I said childhood!" I know, but that's what it was. Three novels of the history of the American Civil War. The three books were setting on a shelf at a family members home. I was young (5/6 grade? Idk, I was young) and learning about the civil War. They were given to me. I picked up the first one and never put them down.

Thanks for that, been looking for a good book on civil war but you can't trust reviews these days.

Their not Atlas Shrugged thick, but their thick. Jakes did a lot of research for those books. I was just a kid, but I liked them.
