Books were always the presents we received for holidays. Hardy Boys, Tom Swift, Classics for Kids, etc., but my 7th grade English teacher (for you UK folks that would be about age 11-12,) gave out supplementary reading lists, a different list for boys and girls, and we had to pick out three books to read from that list and write book reports for each. The boy's list was filled with action and adventure stories. Robinson Crusoe, Treasure Island, Ivanho, etc. Much more enjoyable at age 12 than reading the required for class "Silas Marner." Being able to choose my own book was inspiration in itself!
