God, I feel old, really old...... I was reading Beverly Cleary when they wre relatively new. I did love the Madeleine L'Engle books, but I came to those much later, in fact, I was in my late 20's when those were pointed out to me.
I tried and tried and tried to read Tolkein, never could get through them.
I was reading EB White, of course, and many classics, never a Nancy Drew crossed my threshold. I did read anything I could get my hands on, thank god we had a good library, I wore out my card.
The Potter books have been enormous fun for me, and I'm happy if one kid learns to love reading from them.
