boyst Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Spin off from the other thread... I remember Indian and the Cupboard and the series of them. And someone brought up where the Red Fern Grows. What others were there? I am sure we all read Animal Farm and The Giver in school. We we're supposed to read Great Gatsby by that was High School and I stopped reading by that point.

Gray Beard Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) A Separate Peace Catcher in the Rye Of Mice and Men Farenheit 451 Atlas Shrugged 1984 Animal Farm A Tale of Two Cities Great Expectations Romeo and Juliet (Shakespeare) These were all required reading in school. Outside of school I typically read sci-fi and/or fantasy. I remember one summer during junior high when I read about 20 of the Tarzan, Center of the Earth, and John Carter of Mars books by Edgar Rice Burroughs. I haven’t thought about that for decades. Brings back a lot of memories. Edited April 21, 2018 by Gray Beard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read those Philip Pullman books a lot growing up, can't remember what they were called but the first one was the Golden Compass I believe.

T&C Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Just now, row_33 said: Encyclopedia Brown For sure these, and the Great Brain series. I read a lot as a kid, used to take out a half a dozen books a week from the library. Anything to do with the outdoors or indians was good too, stuff like Rascal or how to survive in the woods kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Vader Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 There was a book I read in the 5th grade, and the title of the book escapes me. It was a bunch of stories about various animals living through the winter season in the forest that they all resided in. One particular story involved several of the animals attempting to hunt each other down, all at the same time. Trailer the Mink in pursuit of a rabbit, Killer the Marten pursuing Trailer, and Fisher the Bold pursuing Killer. Is there anyone here who might remember anything like this? These are the only characters I can remember from this book and I can't remember the title of it. I've tried trying to find those names using google and nothing comes up. Any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
