Oops, sorry, that's a bit off topic I guess

you mean girls don't have fun ! ? wow ...


back on topic,

I don't know, but certainly at some stage I was introduced to The Famous Five (didn't feel same about the Seven). From then it would be whatever I could get a hold of, which wasn't much as my parents were/are not readers, and as a kid I had to make each book last as long as possible, which may be one reason I read and re-read favourite books.

As I've tried to grow up, I've moved more into Fantasy via the usual route (LOTR and Covenant) - but e-reading has opened up a whole new set of authors that I would not otherwise have read....
