too many books to choose from!

      I've read the Narnia books, Robinson Crusoe, Huckleberry Finn and I think the Narnia books would be my favourites from Turtle's collection. All of these books I did not read until I reached adulthood though...but enjoyed them all immensely.

    I agree, Turtle, if we put ALL our all-time faves, we'd use up a lot of paper!! Nice choices!

    Wonderful choices, Turtle. I had forgotten about A Cricket in Times Square. I loved that book!

    Thanks for sharing Turtle. It's lovely to see what the young are reading today and I agree with your number one choice. I also loved all the Narnia books as a kid growing up in the 60s and 70s. They are timeless aren't they. I think the HP ones will be also. Don't you ?
