Old books

[Arthur Dent]

Dad finally got sick of me being scared to go to sleep at night, and came up with a mathematical proof that vampires couldn't possibly be real..I still love the stories though.

:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
damn it, I'd love to see that. Mathematical proof. :roflmao:

Anything by Judy Blume or Beverly Clearly I devoured.

Dear Mr. Henshaw was one of my favorite books as a kid. About a boy who deals with his problems by writing letters to his favorite author. I don't think he intended to mailany of them, but one got mailed and Mr. Henshaw started writing backto him. Great story.

Almost forgot about the "Black Beauty" books. They made movies out of the first two. About a boy and his horse. In the second one they ended up in Arabia where a horse breeder tried to steal Black Beauty and they got caught up in an Arab tribal war. it was the first book I read where people got killed.

And I can't remember the name of this four book series about an earth that was taken over by aliens that rode around in three legged ships. All the adults had these metal triangles inplanted in the back of the head at eighteen and became slaves. But there was this resistance of kids who were trying to fight the aliens. Wish I could remember the name of the series.

And I thought this was about books we read as little kids, not old books in general. Otherwise I'd mention Robert A. Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, and stuff.
